EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Claude Augustin Duflos le Jeune's interpretation of "Leda and the Swan" originally painted by François Boucher in the 18th century. The image depicts a scene from Greek mythology, where Leda, a woman of great beauty, encounters Zeus disguised as a swan. The etching beautifully captures the delicate details of this rococo masterpiece. Leda is portrayed elegantly, her flowing gown draped gracefully as she stands beside a decorative drinking fountain. The water bird perches majestically on its edge, emphasizing the mythical transformation taking place. Duflos le Jeune's skillful rendering brings out the intricate textures and contrasts between light and shadow in this monochromatic composition. The artist pays homage to Boucher's original work while adding his own unique touch to it. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in French heritage art. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural history and the enduring influence of classical mythology on artistic expression. As we gaze upon this striking portrait, we are transported back to an era when mythological tales were celebrated through art. This photograph allows us to appreciate both Boucher's genius and Duflos le Jeune's talent for capturing timeless beauty with his camera lens.
