1. Title: "Tennyson's Ganymede: Borne to Olympus by Jove in the Form of an Eagle" This image showcases a stunning mural from the Library of Congress' Thomas Jefferson Building in Washington D.C., USA. The mural, part of the Poetry Series by Henry Oliver Walker, was completed in 1920 and is titled "Tennyson's Ganymede." This masterpiece is a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of the United States. The mural depicts the famous mythological story of Ganymede, a beautiful young shepherd who was abducted by the god Jupiter in the form of an eagle and taken to Mount Olympus to serve as the cup-bearer for the gods. Alfred Lord Tennyson, a renowned English poet, penned a poem inspired by this tale, which Henry Oliver Walker brought to life in this exquisite work of art. The mural is a visual feast for the eyes, with intricate ornamentation and symbolic details that add depth and meaning to the story. The eagle, in the form of Jupiter, is depicted carrying Ganymede off to Olympus, while the gods look on in approval. The use of bold colors and dynamic shapes creates a sense of movement and energy, making this mural a true standout in the Thomas Jefferson Building. Henry Oliver Walker's Poetry Series, which includes "Tennyson's Ganymede," is a significant contribution to the artistic legacy of the Library of Congress. This mural, along with the other works in the series, continues to inspire and captivate visitors to the Thomas Jefferson Building, offering a glimpse into the rich literary and artistic history of the United States.
