Ganymede and The Eagle Statue | Greek Mythology Sculpture

Description: 🔹This 3D printed sculpture beautifully captures the mythological tale of Ganymede and the Eagle. The design emphasizes the contour strongly, depicting Ganymede as a kneeling figure watering the eagle. In previous versions, Ganymede was portrayed standing in works such as "Ganymede Offering the Drinking Cup" (1804) and "Ganymede Filling the Cup" (1816). However, the 1817 version shows Ganymede in a more dynamic pose, interacting with the eagle. According to ancient myth, Ganymede, the son of King Tros of Troy, was renowned for his exceptional beauty. Chosen by the gods as Zeus' cupbearer, Ganymede's story unfolds as Zeus, disguised as an eagle, descends to earth to take him to Olympus. Ganymede innocently offers his drinking bowl to the eagle, not realizing it is the supreme Olympic god in disguise. This scene symbolizes Ganymede's journey from mortal youth to divine servant. This sculpture intricately details Ganymede wearing the Phrygian cap and holding a jug in his right hand, symbolizing his origin and role as Zeus' cupbearer. It is a compelling representation of Greek mythology and the timeless tales of gods and mortals. 🌟Original Sculpture Details🌟 Date: 1817Period: NeoclassicalArtist: Bertel Thorvaldsen 🌟Material & Process🌟 This product is crafted using high-quality PLA with a 3D printer, then meticulously hand-painted and varnished to perfection.
