Note du spécialiste

The prototype for the present picture is Michelangelo Buonarroti's Leda and the Swan, commissioned in 1529 by Alfonso d'Este and no longer extant. Michelangelo's composition is known from numerous copies, including one by Sir Peter Paul Rubens now in the National Gallery, London.
