Leda and the Swan — Gustave Moreau

Gustave Moreau’s Leda and the Swan, dated 1880, interprets the ancient Greek myth of Leda and Zeus through the dreamlike intensity of nineteenth-century Symbolism. Moreau transforms the classical subject into an enigmatic vision, uniting mythological imagery with the decorative richness and imaginative atmosphere characteristic of his art. The encounter between Leda and the swan carries a sense of mystery and poetic drama, inviting contemplation of beauty, transformation, and divine presence within the mythic world.

These refinements are intended to improve print reproduction while respecting the character of the original artwork. Colours and tonal values may therefore differ from the original painting.
