EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rembrandt van Rhijn's masterpiece, "Diana with Actaeon and Callisto" painted in 1634. The artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of the Museum Wasserburg Anholt. The painting transports us to a serene forest scene, where a river flows gently through its banks. In this Baroque composition, we witness an intriguing moment from Roman mythology unfold before our eyes. At the center of the image stands Diana, the goddess of hunting, accompanied by her loyal hounds. She is surrounded by nymphs and bathers who have sought refuge near the river's edge. However, their tranquility is disrupted as Actaeon stumbles upon this secret gathering while on a hunting expedition. As Actaeon gazes upon Diana and her entourage, he becomes unwittingly entangled in an erotic tale of transformation and metamorphosis. This narrative originates from Ovid's Roman literature and Greek mythology. Callisto, another nymph present in this scene, adds further complexity to the story as she too undergoes a transformative experience at Diana's hands. Rembrandt masterfully captures these intricate emotions through his use of oil on canvas technique. His attention to detail brings forth each character's inner turmoil amidst nature’s beauty. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an exploration into allegory and literature that has fascinated generations throughout history.
