The Flight of Europa is a bronze Art Deco sculpture created by American artist Paul Manship in 1925.

Inspired by murals he saw in Crete, Manship added dolphins under the bull to represent the couples' destination.

[2] Inspired by a Titian portrait of Europa, Manship created a trio of sculptures about that myth, of which this is the last and most elaborate.

[2] They were part of a series of sculptures he created in Paris in the early 1920s that earned him wide acceptance as a serious force in contemporary art.

The early appreciation for archaic Greek sculpture he had acquired during his fellowship in Rome combined with his recent anatomy studies with Solon Borglum, enabling him to create a balance between realistic and formal elements.
