François Boucher, a prominent French painter of the Rococo period, is renowned for his idyllic and voluptuous depictions of classical themes, pastoral scenes, and decorative allegories. Among his extensive oeuvre, "Leda and the Swan" and "Diana and Callisto" stand out as significant works that exemplify his mastery in rendering mythological subjects with a blend of sensuality and elegance.

"Leda and the Swan" is inspired by the myth from Greek mythology where Zeus, in the form of a swan, seduces or assaults Leda. Boucher's interpretation of this myth is characterized by its delicate and graceful composition, where the interaction between Leda and the swan is depicted with a sense of intimacy and fluidity. The painting is marked by Boucher's signature use of soft, pastel colors and intricate detailing, which enhance the ethereal and dreamlike quality of the scene. The artist's ability to convey the textures of flesh, feathers, and drapery with such finesse contributes to the overall sensuality and allure of the work.

"Diana and Callisto," on the other hand, draws from the mythological narrative involving the goddess Diana and her nymph Callisto. According to the myth, Callisto, a follower of Diana, is transformed into a bear by Zeus and later placed among the stars as the constellation Ursa Major. Boucher's rendition of this tale captures the moment of discovery, where Diana realizes Callisto's pregnancy. The painting is imbued with a sense of drama and emotion, heightened by Boucher's adept use of light and shadow to create depth and focus within the composition. The figures are rendered with a delicate beauty, and the lush, naturalistic background serves to enhance the mythological ambiance of the scene.

Both paintings reflect Boucher's exceptional skill in portraying mythological subjects with a blend of realism and idealization, characteristic of the Rococo style. His works are celebrated for their decorative charm, intricate details, and the ability to evoke a sense of poetic fantasy, making them enduring masterpieces in the canon of Western art.
