In the form of sculpted marble, the vortex of an irregular wave rises all in white. Such is the form that Jupiter assumes in this final abduction of Europa, created by Anna Chromy. He is no longer the cute bull, attractive in his equanimity, but a ferocious wave. This is the image of a historic wave that captivates us and carries us along, blindly. Instead of the little horns that the myth desired, “as transparent as the purity of a stone”, a crystal globe is floating here. How will Europa, the sweet daughter of Agenor, be carried along, and where? What is her destiny? What face will the continent wear tomorrow, which has taken her name? The artist ponders this. With the visionary clarity that is hers alone, she goes back to the roots of the myth in her attempt to get a better grasp of the meaning as manifested in its present-day reality.
