Kidnapping Europe

This painting depicts a scene from an ancient story or mythology. The foreground shows a rider on a white horse wading through water, with a man standing behind him with a chariot and a pair of oxen. To the right in the centre of the painting is a woman helping a seated male figure to stand up. The work is obviously inspired by historical or mythological themes, which is evident from the classical clothing of the figures and the battle chariots with large shields in the background. The background of the painting shows a transition from a clear sky to a dark, stormy sky.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669). Dutch painter considered one of the greatest painters of all time, who particularly affected the history of art. Already during his lifetime, he achieved great renown - he painted famous contemporaries and taught dozens of outstanding painters. He often painted biblical themes (for example, Storm at Sea of ​​Galilee or observations of the Jewish community in Amsterdam). His most famous and popular work is Night Watch - the military retinue of Captain Frans Banning. The painting was named by its discoverer Sir Joshua Reynolds for its dark colour (the picture is, in fact, full of daylight). Another of his beautiful paintings is worth mentioning: Return of the Prodigal Son.
