About Rembrandt van Rijn and The Abduction of Ganymede (1635)

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) painted this work in 1635, when he was experimenting with bold, unconventional takes on classical subjects.

Painted in oil on canvas and measuring about 177 x 129 cm, it is held in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden.
