This is an illustration concerning the use of sexuality in art and art history. The female nude is a constant theme throughout the history of art. I chose to reinvent Leonardo's classical painting Leda and the Swan by exploring the use of the nude and the extremely sexual nature of the original work. The story goes that Zeus turned himself into a swan in order to seduce a woman named Leda. After being together she laid two eggs from which two sets of twins were born.
