JPEG file comment | CELLINI, Benvenuto
(b. 1500, Firenze, d. 1571, Firenze) Ganymede 1548-50 Bronze, height 60 cm Museo Nazionale del Bargello, Florence Ganymede was a shepherd, the son of Tros, a legendary king of Troy. His outstanding beauty caused Jupiter to fall in love with him. According to Ovid (Met. 10: 152-161) the god, having transformed himself into an eagle, carried the youth off to Olympus where he made him his cup-bearer. The myth, which is given in a slightly different version by Homer, found favour in ancient Greece because it appeared to provide religious sanction for homosexual love. The representation in Renaissance and later art shows Ganymede caught in the embrace of, or on the back of, the eagle which bears him upwards, its wings either spread in flight or enfolding the youth, its claws holding his limbs. The bronze Ganymede is attributed to Cellini on stylistic grounds, although it is not mentioned in Cellini's autobiography which ends with the year 1562.
