Leda and the Swan from the workshop of Bartholomaeus Spranger (1500s)

- This is an example of narrative art(ie. Tells a story)
- Leda was the Queen of Sparta & one of the great loves of Zeus.
- He came to her in the form of a swan & seduced her while she bathed by a river.

Posting on twitter too my last studies of my OC Dejanira as innkeeper! The outfit on the right is more faithful to Renaissance fashion in Italy (early 1500s), the one on the left is a mix of different influences. Which one do you prefer?
