Rembrandt van Rijn’s ‘The Abduction of Ganymede,’ painted in 1635, reinterprets the Greek myth of Ganymede, a young boy abducted by Zeus in the form of an eagle. Unlike traditional depictions that paint Ganymede as graceful and desirable, Rembrandt’s interpretation is strikingly stark and realistic, portraying the child in a state of distress.
