O Rapto de Europa

O Rapto de Europa (Pintura de Rembrandt , 1632, Getty Museum / 61x78 cm)

He moved among the cows, more beautiful than they or other bulls,
he strolled spring grasses, white as the snow untouched
by southern rains or footprint on the ground,
huge, silky muscles at his neck and silvered dewlaps hanging,
horns as white as if a sculptor’s hand had cut them out of pearl.
And no one feared his look, forehead and eye were gracefully
benign…
Agenor’s daughter gazed at him in wonder.”

(Ovid, Metamorphoses II.849-59)
