"Ganymede and the Eagle" is a lead sculpture by Francesco Righetti, created in 1782. The sculpture depicts the mythological scene of Ganymede, a Trojan prince, being abducted by Zeus, disguised as an eagle, to serve as cupbearer to the gods on Mount Olympus. This neoclassical sculpture, standing at 135 cm tall, showcases Righetti's mastery of form and detail, with the figures rendered in a smooth, polished style. The eagle's outstretched wings and Ganymede's slightly apprehensive pose create a sense of movement and drama, capturing the moment of abduction.

The youthful Ganymede was abducted by the god Zeus in the guise of an eagle who took him to Mount Olympus to serve as cup-bearer to the gods.
