Callisto wordt door Jupiter opgenomen in de sterrenhemel c. 1547 - 1550

"Callisto wordt door Jupiter opgenomen in de sterrenhemel" (Callisto is Taken up to the Stars by Jupiter) is an engraving created by Léon Davent in the mid-16th century. The scene depicts a classical mythological moment, showcasing the moment Callisto, a nymph who was transformed into a bear, is taken up to the heavens as Ursa Major, the Great Bear constellation. The composition highlights a landscape setting with a figure of a woman in the foreground, a clear division between earthly and heavenly realms. The engraving's detail and the artist's use of light and shadow contribute to the sense of drama and grandeur of the scene.
