The painting depicts the Greek goddess Leto and her twins, Artemis and Apollo, who are also the children of Zeus, the king of the gods. Leto was a goddess of motherhood, fertility, and childbirth, who had to endure many hardships and dangers to give birth to her twins, as Zeus’ wife Hera was jealous and vengeful of her. She was also a kourotrophic deity, meaning she protected and nurtured young children. The painting shows Leto breastfeeding her twins in a forest, surrounded by nature. The forest represents the natural and wild realm, where Leto found refuge from Hera’s wrath and where her children grew up and developed their skills and powers. Artemis became the goddess of the hunt, the moon, and the wilderness, while Apollo became the god of the sun, music, and prophecy. The breastfeeding represents the maternal bond and love between Leto and her children, as well as the divine nourishment and strength they received from her. Breastfeeding was also a common motif in ancient art and mythology, symbolizing fertility, abundance, and life.
