About me :)

Hi! My name is Winter Grasso. I'm 20 years old and studying film at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I was born in Alaska and traveled through the U.S. with my family, eventually returning back in 2011. I live in a little dry cabin outside of town and spend a lot of time trying to create a perfect clutter-core interior. I love to read, write, play guitar, bike, listen to music and experiment with all different artistic mediums.

The painting was created between 1560 and 1562 in Venice, Italy. It now lives at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts.

The stories were taken from Greek and Roman mythology, and gave Titian the opportunity to paint interactions between mortal and immortal beings.  The Backstory      The painting conveys a story of abduction, where Zeus transforms himself into a docile white bull with the intention of kidnapping the beautiful Phoenician princess, Europa. Her family tries to find her, but their mortal ab...
