"The Abduction of Ganymede" is a notable oil painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, created in 1635. This work of art depicts the mythological tale of Ganymede, a young prince of Troy, who is seized and taken to Mount Olympus by Zeus, who has transformed himself into an eagle. According to the myth, Ganymede was chosen for his extraordinary beauty to become the cupbearer of the gods, replacing Hebe.

Rembrandt's interpretation of this classical subject is remarkable for its dramatic and emotional intensity. The painting shows Ganymede, draped in a white cloth, being carried off by the eagle's powerful talons, his body limp with fear and surprise. The young boy's face is turned upwards, his mouth open in a cry, which conveys the terror of the abduction. The eagle's wings are outstretched, and its dark feathers contrast sharply with the bright, billowing clouds in the background, emphasizing the action of the scene.

Measuring 171 cm by 130 cm, the painting is executed in Rembrandt's characteristic baroque style, with a dynamic composition, strong chiaroscuro, and a rich, earthy palette. Unlike many classical renditions of the myth that idealize the event, Rembrandt's version is notable for its realism and humanization of Ganymede's experience. The work is also an example of Rembrandt's skill in depicting textures and materials, from the softness of Ganymede's skin to the roughness of the eagle's feathers.

"The Abduction of Ganymede" is part of the collection at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany. It remains an important piece in the study of Rembrandt's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's innovative approach to mythological subjects and his mastery of emotional expression through paint. The painting continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is appreciated for its artistic and historical significance in the context of 17th-century Dutch painting.
