Michelangelo: Ganimede e l'aquila

Speranza

In the drawings which Michelangelo presented to Tommaso de' Cavalieri, his noble companion, the portrayal of the myth of "Ganimede e l'aquila" is HIGHLY EROTICISED.

The eagle clutches a muscled young man from the back in an embrace which suggests anal intercourse.
