Abduction of Ganymede 

This drawing, "Abduction of Ganymede," by the Italian Renaissance artist Giulio Romano, depicts the mythological scene of the young Trojan prince, Ganymede, being carried away by Zeus in the form of an eagle. This preparatory drawing, likely intended for a larger painting, demonstrates Romano's mastery of anatomy and his keen eye for detail. The dynamic composition and expressive figures are characteristic of Romano's style, which blended the influence of Raphael with a bolder, more dramatic approach. This artwork offers viewers insight into the creative process of a major artist and showcases the enduring power of classical mythology.
