Wings, Bronze sculpture at National Museum, Stockholm, Sweden

Wings, also called Boy with Eagle, is a sculpture by Carl Milles showing a naked youth kneeling on a stone block and lifting an eagle with outstretched wings on his raised arms. The monumental version is 270 centimetres high and stands on a tall column whose height varies by location. The motif comes from Greek mythology: Ganymede carried off by Zeus in the form of an eagle.

Carl Milles composed the sculpture in 1908 and executed it at a larger scale in 1910. The Gothenburg copy was donated in 1916 by Caroline Wijk, née Dickson, and first stood without a column at Bastionsplatsen inside the moat before being moved to Götaplatsen sometime in the 1940s. In 1916 Mauritz Stiller chose the sculpture to replace a painting in his film adaptation of Herman Bang's novel Mikaël.

The work draws from Greek mythology, specifically the abduction of the mortal Ganymedes by the king of the gods, a theme that also shaped Swedish cinema of that era. This shows how ancient stories continued to inspire creative expression well into the modern period.

The sculpture stands outdoors by the National Museum on Strömkajen, visible without a ticket. It is one of several casts: others are at Götaplatsen in Gothenburg, Millesgården on Lidingö, and in Uppsala and at Waldemarsudde. The Gothenburg version was donated in 1916 by Caroline Wijk and moved to Götaplatsen in the 1940s.

The sculpture exists in several casts: outside the Gothenburg Museum of Art on Götaplatsen, at Millesgården on Lidingö and outside the National Museum in Stockholm, plus versions without a column in the Uplands nation garden in Uppsala and at Waldemarsudde. The Gothenburg piece was donated in 1916 by Caroline Wijk, née Dickson, and first stood without a column at Bastionsplatsen inside the moat before moving to Götaplatsen in the 1940s.
