Description
-
This image depicts Jupiter disguising himself as an eagle to abduct a boy that he was in love with. The engraving illustrates Jupiter in the form of a giant eagle, carrying away the Phrygian boy named Ganymede. Ganymede has his left arm wrapped around the eagle’s neck and the other arm is holding a piece of fabric that is blowing in the wind. Jupiter took him away from Phrygia and brought him up to the heavens to handle his mixing cups.
