Nice spin-off of Da Vinci's Leda and the Swan, at Cafe Swan in Zonnebloem. Of this theme, Boucher's of 1740 is the most obscene, Cezanne's the ugliest (but then, everything he did was ugly) and Dali's the least erotic. No surprise there. The guy recoiled from coitus, so got off from voyeurism and masturbation. Twombly's is the most brutal.

At a corner of this mural, there's a tiny depiction of Saint George slaying the man-eating dragon. As one god, Zeus, rapes a woman, a holy man kills a different beast.

On another wall at Swan Cafe, there's a quotation of Gerome's Leda and the Swan, with just the swan, swimming infants and flying angels. The naked Leda has been deleted.
