Default Francois Boucher 1703 - 1770 Leda and the Swan

"There are exceptions to the nudity rule. Paintings, classic art and statuary..."



…and in the guise of a swan he took refuge in the bosom of nemesis, and again in this form he espoused Leda; ever with artifice manifestly, and not with violence, does he pursue beauty in women. Isocrates

But Zeus in the form of a swan consorted with Leda, and on the same night Tynareus cohabited with her; and she bore Pollux and Helen to Zeus and Castor and Clytaemnestra to Tyndareus. Apollodorus
