About the Item
Ganymede was a Trojan prince in Greek mythology, known for his compelling beauty. Because of his alluring good looks, Ganymede was abducted by Zeus to serve as cup-bearer in Olympus. In some versions of the myth Zeus is the eagle, while in others Zeus controls the bird.
Homer described Ganymede as the most beautiful of mortals: "Ganymede was the loveliest born of the race of mortals, and therefore the gods caught him away to themselves, to be Zeus' wine-pourer, for the sake of his beauty, so he might be among the immortals".
— Homer, Iliad, Book XX, lines 233-235.[3]
The myth of Ganymede was a popular one throughout art history. This painting was done in the style of Antoine Coypel. The canvas measures 25.5" x 30" and the frame measures 33" x 36" x 3.5".

The Red Hat oil on canvas by Moses Soyer
By Moses Soyer
Located in Hudson, NY
Realist oil painting by Moses Soyer. The artist was often quoted as saying, "My message is people." He was always looking to find who the person within was.
