This is "Lamento Della Ninfa" from "Madrigali Guerrieri et Amorosi" (Libro Ottavo, 1638) composed by Claudio Monteverdi.
I listened to this song for the first time while watching a BBC documentary about Bernini. The song talks about a lost love and it is certainly a master piece. It is like an echo inside of my head, it makes me shiver every time I listen to it.
I thought the Jupiter and Antiope painting would be appropriated to give life to such a beautiful music.
