This Painting Isn't What You Think It Is - Video

Why, in a Renaissance painting, would a swan be kissing a woman? What does this symbolize?

In today's video, we'll discuss one of the most frequently depicted Greek myths in art, which, in my opinion, is somewhat disturbing. It's called "Leda and the Swan," and this particular painting is a representation by Paolo Veronese from the late 16th century.
