Leda and the Swan 

Odilon Redon’s “Leda and the Swan” is a captivating depiction of the Greek myth, showcasing Redon’s mastery of symbolist art. The artwork, rendered in delicate washes of watercolor, presents a dreamlike scene where the human and animal forms merge, evoking the ethereal and the sensual. Leda, nude and seemingly embracing the swan, is portrayed amidst a swirling background of blues and purples, creating a sense of mystery and ambiguity, typical of Redon’s style.
