The painting is titled Jupiter and Ganymede Above an Extensive Landscape. It was created by Giovanni Bellini in the 1490s. The artist used pen and brown ink on laid paper, and the two figures were incised, which means they were cut into the paper, and later mounted on a new backing. To learn more about this style, check out the Renaissance.
