"Leda et le Cygne" (Leda and the Swan) is a painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in the late 19th century. This work is one of Moreau's interpretations of the classical myth in which Zeus, the king of the gods in Greek mythology, seduces or rapes Leda, the queen of Sparta, in the form of a swan. Moreau's depiction is known for its dreamlike and sensual qualities, characteristic of his symbolist approach to art.

The painting portrays the moment of the mythological encounter with a rich palette and intricate detail, reflecting Moreau's fascination with the exotic and the esoteric. Leda is often depicted as a passive figure, enthralled or overwhelmed by the divine swan, and Moreau's rendition is likely to emphasize the enigmatic and potentially disturbing aspects of the myth, in line with his interest in the darker and more mysterious forces of human experience.

Gustave Moreau, born on April 6, 1826, and died on April 18, 1898, was a major figure in French Symbolist painting. His work is known for its classical references, elaborate ornamentation, and a style that prefigured the Surrealist movement. "Leda et le Cygne" reflects Moreau's preoccupation with the otherworldly and the subconscious, and it stands as a testament to his ability to evoke the ineffable through his unique visual language.

The painting is part of Moreau's extensive oeuvre, which includes other treatments of mythological subjects, often focusing on themes of transformation, transcendence, and the interplay between the human and the divine. "Leda et le Cygne" is not only a significant work within Moreau's own body of art but also an important piece within the broader context of Symbolist painting, contributing to the movement's exploration of myth, emotion, and the mysteries of the human psyche.
