This is one of nine mythological scenes commissioned to celebrate a marriage. The supreme Greek god Zeus has transformed into a friendly bull to abduct the daughter of the King of Tyre (modern day Lebanon) across the sea to Crete. Figures are dramatically placed in the foreground in luminous colour.
