a common renaissance and baroque theme is females that are abducted or seduced by divinities. this includes leda and the swan as zeus, as well as europa, antiope, and danae. many portrayals of women being seduced by divinities are shown in a sensual manner. for instance, rubens's "leda", is very erotic. leda is shown fully nude with her buttocks and left breast being visible. the swan is caressing her on her most intimate area with its neck cradled between her breasts. the swan is depicted as a graceful animal who also can ravish.
