This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Callisto and Jupiter designed from a painting by Nicolaes Pietersz Berchem in which, according to Greek mythology, Jupiter from the heavens spots Callisto and is overwhelmed with lust; so he disguises himself as the virgin goddess Diana, comes down to earth where Callisto is taking a nap and proceeds to kiss her. She struggles to get away, but then Jupiter reveals his true self and rapes Callisto. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
