Ganymedes bortføres af ørnen 1643 - 1647

"Ganymedes bortføres af ørnen" (Ganymede Abducted by the Eagle) is a 17th-century etching by Albert Haelwegh. The print depicts the Greek myth of Ganymede, a young Trojan prince, being carried away by the eagle of Zeus. The eagle is depicted with its wings spread, carrying Ganymede in its talons. Ganymede is shown struggling against the eagle's grip, his clothing flowing in the wind. The scene is set against a background of clouds and sky. The etching is known for its dynamic composition and intricate detail. Haelwegh's work is considered an important example of Dutch Baroque art. "Ganymedes bortføres af ørnen" is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
