The artwork titled “Leda,” created by the artist Paul Delvaux, is associated with the Surrealism art movement and belongs to the genre of mythological painting.
The artwork depicts a mythological scene inspired by the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan, where the swan represents Zeus. The scene features a nude woman, Leda, intimately interacting with a swan in an enigmatic and dreamlike setting. The background includes architectural elements and a clear blue sky, adding to the surreal and otherworldly atmosphere characteristic of Delvaux’s work. The artwork’s intricate details, subdued color palette, and surreal ambiance evoke a sense of mythological timelessness and wonder.
