Leda and the Swan

Albumen print | RCIN 851706

A photograph of a painting catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being then in the Palazzo Borghese, Rome. The painting appears to be one of the many versions after a now lost picture by Leonardo, the composition of which is known through numerous copies including a drawing by Raphael now in the Royal Library, Windsor Castle (RCIN 912759). Ruland believed the photographed painting to be derived from the drawing by Raphael.
  • Acquired for the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1853-76)
