The myth of Europa begins with Zeus, the Greek god, who fell in love with her. While Europa was wandering among her father’s cattle, she encountered a magnificent white bull. Unbeknownst to her, the bull was Zeus in disguise, intending to deceive her. When Europa climbed onto the bull’s back, Zeus leapt into the sea and carried her far from her homeland. Her father, distraught, sent her brother, Cadmus, to find her. Although Cadmus never succeeded, his journey led him to Greece, where he introduced the alphabet. The continent of Europe derives its name from the princess Europa.
Vicente Puig (1882–1965), a distinguished artist born in Matadero, Barcelona, emigrated to the Rio de la Plata region in the late 1940s and eventually settled in Montevideo. Puig’s work is marked by his passion for fine lines and decorative styles, with Impressionist influences evident throughout his artistic journey.
