Copper Diana Elder Jan Brueghel Acteon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jan Brueghel the Elder's masterpiece, "Landscape with Diana and Acteon". Painted on copper, this oil painting measures 37 cm in height and 27 cm in width. Brueghel's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures a serene landscape where mythological figures come to life. In this scene, we witness the Greek goddess Diana accompanied by her nymphs engaged in leisurely activities amidst nature's beauty. The artist masterfully depicts the lush greenery of the forest, with trees towering majestically overhead and a tranquil river flowing gently through the landscape. The play of light filtering through the foliage adds an ethereal quality to the composition. The focal point of this artwork lies in Diana's encounter with Acteon (also known as Akteon). As legend has it, Acteon accidentally stumbles upon Diana while she bathes naked in a secluded pool. In his audacity, he gazes upon her forbidden beauty against her wishes. Infuriated by his intrusion, Diana transforms him into a stag as punishment for his transgression. Brueghel expertly captures this pivotal moment frozen in time - Acteon caught off guard by his transformation while surrounded by startled hounds who were once his loyal companions. This dramatic narrative unfolds against a backdrop of breathtaking natural scenery that serves as both setting and witness to their fateful encounter. Through this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, viewers can appreciate Brueghel's
