"L'Enlèvement de Ganymède" (The Abduction of Ganymede) is a notable oil painting by the French artist Gabriel Joseph Marie Augustin Ferrier (1847–1914). Completed in 1874, the painting is a classic representation of the mythological tale from ancient Greek lore, where Ganymede, a young prince of Troy, is abducted by Zeus, who is traditionally depicted in the form of an eagle. Ferrier's interpretation of this myth is characterized by its romantic and dramatic flair, which was typical of the academic art style of the period.

Gabriel Ferrier, a recipient of the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1872, was known for his historical and mythological scenes, as well as his portraits. "L'Enlèvement de Ganymède" reflects his academic training and his skill in capturing the human form and the use of light to evoke emotion and drama. The painting showcases his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the sensuality and vulnerability of the figures, a trait that garnered him recognition in the Paris Salon and among his contemporaries.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, as it reflects the 19th-century fascination with classical antiquity and contributes to the visual legacy of the Ganymede myth, which has been a subject of artistic endeavor since ancient times. Ferrier's rendition adds to the rich tapestry of interpretations of the myth, offering insight into the values and aesthetics of the era in which he worked.

"L'Enlèvement de Ganymède" remains an important piece in Ferrier's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its technique and place within the broader context of 19th-century French art. The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of mythological subjects in Western art and the capacity of such stories to inspire artists across generations.
