EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 15th-century illumination titled "Leda and the Swan". The artwork, created by the French School in the 15th century, is based on Robinet Testard's work in Evrart de Conty's Livre des echecs amoureux moralises from 1496-1498. Leonard de Selva has beautifully captured this piece from a private collection. The image depicts Leda, a mythological character from ancient Greece, engaged with Jupiter (Zeus) who has transformed into a swan. This mythical encounter represents both metamorphosis and sexuality. Leda stands as an emblem of femininity and divine beauty while being intimately connected to nature through her interaction with the swan. The chromolithography technique used in this photograph enhances its artistic value, bringing out vibrant colors and intricate details. It serves as a testament to the artistry of the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era where mythology intertwined seamlessly with everyday life. The composition evokes feelings of wonderment and curiosity about ancient Greek culture and their belief systems. Leonard de Selva's print allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship of artists from centuries ago but also invites us to reflect on our own understanding of divinity, sensuality, and spirituality across different cultures throughout history.
