Leda and the Swan (1505-07) by Raphael Leonardo’s innovations were crucial to Raphael’s development. This is strongly evident in the finished paintings as well as in the drawings that survive. An impressive example exists in Raphael’s delicate and superbly rendered drawing of Leda and the Swan, copied from a painting by Leonardo that was famous in its time, but now lost.
