"Leda et le Cygne" (Leda and the Swan) is a painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in the late 19th century. The work is a visual representation of the mythological tale from Greek mythology, where Zeus, the king of the gods, takes the form of a swan to seduce or rape Leda, a Spartan queen. This myth has been a popular subject for artists throughout history, and Moreau's interpretation is noted for its intricate detail, rich symbolism, and the blending of eroticism with a mystical atmosphere that is characteristic of his work.

Gustave Moreau (1826–1898) was known for his mystical and enigmatic paintings that often drew upon biblical, mythological, and literary sources. In "Leda et le Cygne," Moreau's style reflects his fascination with the exotic and the esoteric, as well as his interest in exploring the psychological depths of his subjects. The painting is executed with fine brushwork and a palette that emphasizes jewel tones, which contribute to the dreamlike quality of the scene.

The composition typically features Leda, depicted with an air of resignation or pleasure, entwined with the swan, symbolizing Zeus. The encounter is often portrayed amidst a lush, otherworldly landscape, which serves to isolate the figures and underscore the surreal and allegorical nature of the event. Moreau's treatment of the subject matter reflects his approach to Symbolism, where the narrative is secondary to the evocation of mood and the exploration of themes such as desire, transformation, and the divine.

"Leda et le Cygne" by Gustave Moreau is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its ability to convey complex themes through visual art. As with many of Moreau's works, the painting invites multiple interpretations and has been the subject of scholarly analysis in the fields of art history and Symbolist studies. The painting is part of Moreau's broader oeuvre, which has had a lasting influence on subsequent generations of artists, including the Surrealists, who admired his visionary approach to painting and his departure from the naturalism that dominated the art of his time.
