Über die Skulptur
The shepherd Ganymede, famous for his beauty, was abducted by the God Jupiter, taking the form of an eagle. Ganymede became cup-bearer to the gods. This myth, popular with French eighteenth-century artists, was largely known to them from the 'Metamorphoses' of the Roman poet, Ovid. The influence of sculpture of classical antiquity is clearly evident in this statue, even though the finish is no longer fine and smooth due to weathering.
