"Abduction of Ganymede" (Italian: "Ratto di Ganimede") is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio, commonly known as Correggio. Created around 1531–1532, this masterpiece is a vivid representation of the mythological tale from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," where Ganymede, a beautiful Trojan prince, is abducted by Zeus, who has taken the form of an eagle. The painting is notable for its dynamic composition, sensual portrayal of the figures, and innovative use of perspective, which reflects Correggio's mastery of illusionistic space and his influence on later Baroque art.

In the artwork, the young Ganymede is depicted being swept up into the heavens by the powerful eagle, with the boy's body gracefully twisted in a manner that showcases Correggio's skill in rendering the human form. The use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figures and adds a sense of movement to the scene. The emotional intensity of the moment is captured through the expressions and the interaction between Ganymede and the eagle, making the painting a poignant interpretation of the myth.

"Abduction of Ganymede" is a testament to Correggio's ability to convey complex narratives through his art, and it remains an important work within his oeuvre. The painting was originally part of a series of mythological subjects created for the Duke of Mantua, Federico II Gonzaga, and it has since been admired for its artistic innovation and contribution to the development of European painting. The work is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it continues to be studied and appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts alike.
