It would be unfair not to tell you that this figure is in the Palazzo Grimani. The statue represents Ganymede being abducted by Zeus as an eagle (or by an eagle sent by Zeus). Just because you like the looks of somebody, that's no reason to abduct them in this way. Those claws must hurt! Fans of "Don't Look Now" will know that the Donald Sutherland's character was murdered in this palazzo. It has not been open very long, after some years of restoration.
