Prince Ganymede, son of Tros and Dardania, was abducted by Zeus in the form of an eagle to serve as cup bearer to the gods. There are several famous paintings of the scene. I chose Correggio's painting as inspiration for another colored paper diorama setup.
Using the same process with torn and folded colored paper, I created a rough, three-dimensional diorama of this image, lit it, and painted it. I think it has a children's storybook quality about it.
