Oil on canvas. A large and wide green landscape, near a cave from which a spring flows to create a clear body of water, is the setting for the myth of Actaeon: the young hunter, during a hunting trip, accidentally came across the cave where the goddess Diana and her companions were bathing. As soon as she noticed his presence, the goddess, surprised by Actaeon in this moment of great intimacy, became so angry that she threw water in his face, transforming him into a deer. His dogs, not recognizing him, pounced on him and tore him to pieces: from a hunter Actaeon had become prey. The story of Diana and Actaeon has inspired the imagination of numerous artists, who have tried their hand at this subject, always obtaining original and different interpretations. The painting, relined, is presented in a re-adapted antique frame.
