"Leda" 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 of Leda and the Swan, a story from Greek mythology in which Zeus, the king of the gods, takes the form of a swan to seduce or rape Leda, a mortal woman. Moreau's depiction of this mythological encounter is known for its intricate detail, rich symbolism, and the sensual portrayal of its subjects, which is characteristic of his symbolist approach to art.

The painting features Leda, often depicted as a beautiful and ethereal figure, in an intimate moment with the swan, representing Zeus. Moreau's treatment of the subject matter is imbued with a dreamlike quality, and his use of color and light contributes to the overall mystical atmosphere of the piece. The artist's focus on the emotional and psychological aspects of the myth, rather than the physical event itself, reflects the Symbolist movement's preoccupation with the inner world of imagination and the representation of ideas over realistic depiction.

Gustave Moreau was renowned for his paintings that drew on biblical, mythological, and literary sources, and "Leda" is a prime example of his work that combines the real with the fantastic, the sensual with the spiritual, and the conscious with the unconscious. The painting is part of Moreau's larger body of work that explores themes of desire, transformation, and the divine, often featuring strong, enigmatic female figures at the center of the narratives.

"Leda" by Gustave Moreau is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of one of the most captivating myths of antiquity. The painting is a testament to Moreau's unique vision and his significant contribution to the Symbolist movement in art. It continues to be studied and admired for its complex layering of meaning and its ability to transcend the boundaries between the visible world and the realm of myth.
