"Heavenly Ganymede" is a polyautographic print by Henry Fuseli, a Swiss-born British painter known for his Neoclassical and Romantic style. This artwork depicts the Greek myth of Ganymede, a Trojan prince abducted by Zeus, who was disguised as an eagle. The print is part of Fuseli's "Specimens of Polyautography," which showcases the innovative printmaking technique he helped develop. The dynamic composition and expressive lines capture the intensity and drama of the mythological narrative.
