Leda and the Swan by Fernando Botero

Leda and the Swan by Fernando Botero

Inspired by Greek mythology, Leda and the Swan appropriates Fernando Botero’s ideological framework over the subject. According to Sotheby’s, this piece is “an iconic example of the artist’s mature sculptural practice.”

Colombian artist Fernando Botero was born in Medellín in 1932. Known for transcending his paintings, prints, and sculptures, Botero’s work is characterized by round, inflated figures drawing inspiration from a range of diverse influences.
