MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Leda and the Swan

🖼 Leda and the Swan, 1535-60
Oil on canvas
105 × 135 cm
London, United Kingdom

Mythological passion unfolds as Leda reclines with the swan, rendered through soft, voluptuous forms and masterful anatomical precision. Michelangelo transforms Ovid's controversial narrative into sensual Renaissance art, exploring divine transformation and human desire through classical idealization.
