Cesare da Sesto (Italian, 1477-1523). Leda and the Swan, 1515-20. Copy after Leonardo da Vinci. Oil on panel. 27 1/4 x 29 in. (69.5 x 73.7 cm).

Leonardo Status: The original Leda was 100% Leonardo. It is thought to have been destroyed after his death, because no one has seen it for nearly 500 years. Before it disappeared the original inspired quite a few faithful copies, though, and that is what we are looking at here.
