The painting is inspired by the tale from Roman mythology, particularly found in Ovid’s “Metamorphoses. This myth has been a popular subject in art and literature, often explored for its themes of deception, transformation, and the complex interplay of power and vulnerability. The story of Jupiter and Callisto is a reminder of the omnipotence of the gods and their influence over the fates of mortals in classical mythology. Jupiter, the king of the gods, was known for his numerous affairs. In this story, he sets his sights on Callisto, a nymph and a devoted follower of the goddess Diana, the deity of the hunt, chastity, and the moon. To deceive Callisto, Jupiter transforms himself into the likeness of Diana. The unsuspecting Callisto is seduced by whom she believes to be her goddess, leading to her eventual downfall.
