Description
English: Leda embraces Zeus, who came to her in the form of a swan, while turning to observe the two sets of newly hatched twins, the result of their union. The Netherlandish landscape suggests a departure from Leonardo's original. Fernando Yanez de la Almedina, Philadelphia Museum of Art, USA (previously at John G. Johnson Collection, 1917)
