Boreas Abducting Oreithyia (1822)

Joseph-Ferdinand Lancrenon: Boreas Abducting Oreithyia

This is another painting based on Greek mythology. Boreas is the north wind, and Oreithyia the daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens.

Below are some earlier renditions of the same subject:

 Peter Paul Rubens (1615)
 
François Boucher (1769)
