Original Dimensions: 41 1/2" x 55 1/2"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (After 1530) "This is an old copy, badly damaged in places, of a now lost painting that Michelangelo made for Alfonso d’Este, Duke of Ferrara, in 1530. The Duke had recently received three mythological paintings from Titian, including the National Gallery’s Bacchus and Ariadne, so in accepting the commission Michelangelo was competing directly with Titian. Here the Greek god Zeus in the form of a swan seduces Leda, Queen of Sparta. Her pose seems to derive from sarcophagus reliefs and gems, and is similar to that of Michelangelo’s marble Night (Medici Chapel, Florence) completed in 1531. Titian’s Danäe (Capodimonte, Naples), in turn, appears to have been made in response to Michelangelo’s Leda. Where Michelangelo’s Leda seems akin to a hard-edged marble relief sculpture, Titian’s Danäe is meltingly voluptuous, emphasising colour and light. Michelangelo saw the Danäe in Rome in 1545, praising its colouring, naturalness and power to entrance but criticising the draughtsmanship." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
