Because the wealthy elite were educated, they were the minority in society who had access to these myths. But instead of inspiring their wealthy owners to live up to the morality depicted in the paintings, Berger says the paintings instead served only to confirm its owners\u2019 high perception of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although oil paints are excellent for depicting tangible objects, Berger says intangible concepts like morality and spirituality were difficult to achieve through the medium. As a result, these paintings had a flatness to them and were more self-serving than examples of artistic mastery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/RG4Hvw7ccMgZSpfnbNt9XZbXGvr2A7kH8uOXQhYOLQq33N4yxeKeGao5NUSsgS4iGWAb5pXkcLwICla-u_yZiyBfkIr0pl-7LiN_r2dRe0N-Tvpsr3qaFwmUNv2GOQofaBz3o0o\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>TRIUMPH OF KNOWLEDGE BY SPRANGER 1546-1627<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shortform-commentary-a-modern-day-mythological-painting-leda-and-the-swan\">Shortform Commentary: A Modern-Day Mythological Painting\u2014Leda and the Swan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Painted in 1962 as one of a set of six, Leda and the Swan is a modern-day mythological painting by Cy Twombly. It\u2019s immediately apparent that this painting is done in a different style than the mythological oil paintings of the European tradition, yet it meets the criteria of the genre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The painting is based upon the Greek story of Zeus seducing Leda by taking the form of a swan.
