''The Flight of Europa'' is a bronze Art Deco sculpture created by American artist Paul Manship in 1925. Copies are held by the Indianapolis Museum of Art,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Indianapolis Museum of Art )〕 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Los Angeles County Museum of Art )〕 The Columbus Museum, Columbus, Georgia, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Smithsonian Institution )〕 It depicts the Greek myth of Europa being abducted by Zeus in the form of a bull. ==Description== ''The Flight of Europa'' is an elegant and modern depiction of an ancient act of violation. The strong diagonals make even the massive bull seem to float. Europa herself sits calmly, legs crossed, as Cupid whispers in her ear. Inspired by murals he saw in Crete, Manship added dolphins under the bull to represent the couples' destination. The delicate linear detailing that became Manship's hallmark can be seen in her hair, Zeus' mane, and Cupid's wings.〔 Without the base, the statue stands 20.75" (52.7 cm.) tall. At least one copy has "P. MaNSHIP ©" inscribed on the base. The statue is bronze, though some copies have been gilded,〔 and they stand on stone bases of agate,〔 marble,〔 or onyx.〔
