"The Abduction of Ganymede" is a 1635 oil painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, depicting the mythological tale of Ganymede's abduction by Zeus, who is disguised as an eagle. This artwork is renowned for its dramatic interpretation of the ancient story, which was a popular theme in the art of the period. Rembrandt's rendition is particularly notable for its emotional intensity and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth in the painting.

In the myth, Ganymede, a young prince of Troy, is considered the most beautiful of mortals and is chosen by Zeus to become the cupbearer of the gods, a position of high honor. Rembrandt's painting captures the moment of Ganymede's abduction, with the eagle's talons gripping the terrified boy as he is carried off to Mount Olympus. The work is characterized by its dynamic composition and the vivid expression of fear on Ganymede's face, which contrasts with the typical glorification of the myth in other artistic representations.

The painting is housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany, and remains a significant example of Rembrandt's skill in portraying complex human emotions and his mastery of light and shadow. "The Abduction of Ganymede" continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, contributing to the understanding of Baroque art and Rembrandt's oeuvre.
