"The Rape of Europa" is a bronze sculpture by Reuben Nakian, a prominent American sculptor known for his modernist and expressionistic style. The sculpture features a flattened, almost disc-like form with a deep relief, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. While the exact date of its creation remains unknown, the sculpture's dramatic portrayal of the mythical Greek tale of Europa's abduction by Zeus, disguised as a bull, showcases Nakian's signature powerful and emotional approach to classical themes.
