"Leda and the Swan (Le Triomphe du Cygne)" is a painting by French artist Léon François Comerre (1850–1916), an academic painter known for his portraits and historical and mythological scenes. The work is inspired by the Greek myth in which Zeus, the king of the gods, seduces Leda, the Queen of Sparta, in the form of a swan. This myth has been a popular subject for artists throughout history, symbolizing the union of the divine and the mortal.

Comerre's interpretation of "Leda and the Swan" is a testament to his skill in capturing the sensuality and romanticism often associated with mythological subjects. The painting typically depicts Leda, usually represented as a beautiful and welcoming figure, in an intimate moment with the swan, embodying Zeus. Comerre's rendition is noted for its fine detail, rich color palette, and the graceful depiction of the figures, which reflect his academic training and his penchant for idealized beauty.

Born in Trélon, Nord, Comerre was a distinguished artist of his time, having won the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1875, which allowed him to study at the Villa Medici in Rome. His works were exhibited in the Paris Salon, where he received numerous awards, and his paintings are characterized by their elegance and often erotic undertones.

"Leda and the Swan" by Comerre is not only a representation of a well-known mythological narrative but also an example of the artist's mastery in blending realism with idealism, a hallmark of the academic art tradition of the late 19th century. The painting is a reflection of the era's fascination with classical themes and the human form, as well as the enduring appeal of mythological stories in the visual arts.

While the exact date of creation for Comerre's "Leda and the Swan" is not specified, it is likely to have been produced during the height of his career when he was actively engaged in creating works that resonated with the tastes and artistic standards of the period. The painting remains an important piece within Comerre's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of European art history.
