"Léda et le cygne" is a painting by the French Rococo artist Charles-Joseph Natoire. The painting depicts the mythological scene of Leda, the queen of Sparta, being seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan. The composition is typical of Rococo art, with its emphasis on soft curves, delicate colors, and playful sensuality. Natoire's painting captures the moment of seduction, with Leda's gaze and pose suggesting both desire and fear. The presence of Cupid, the Roman god of love, in the background further emphasizes the erotic nature of the subject. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, creating a sense of intimacy and sensuality.
