Leda and the Swan

The Contini Gallery in Venice had works by the Colombian artist Fernando Botero, whose art I have enjoyed for many years. The gallery is not large, but it had this Botero sculpture of Leda and the Swan, based on one of the many Greek myths about Zeus changing shape to seduce someone. The subjects in Botero's art are large and heavy, and a lot of his art has a sharp political edge.
