Leda and the Swan

Oil on canvas 152*191 cm
To be fair to Wölfflin, he might have been referring to Correggio's frescoes in Parma.
However, as these come up later on in the chapter (p. 121), and as Leda is a stunningly sexy picture in one of Wölfflin's favourite galleries, I just couldn't resist it.
