  • LEONARDO’S LEDA AND THE SWAN FROM CHATSWORTH

    Chatsworth House, in the United Kingdom, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, has been passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family. It is is renowned for the quality of its art, landscape and hospitality. The Devonshire Collection represents a grand tradition of collecting spanning half a millennium, and is widely celebrated as one of the most significant collections of art and objects in Europe. This video on Leonardo Da Vinci’s drawing of Leda and the Swan from the Sotheby’s archive relates to an exhibition at Chatsworth last year. Enjoy.
