"Diana and Actaeon" is a painting by Polish artist Henryk Siemiradzki, completed in 1886. The painting depicts the mythological scene of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, discovering the mortal hunter Actaeon spying on her while bathing. Diana is depicted with a crescent moon and a flowing white dress, with a hint of her nakedness, while Actaeon is hidden in the background of the woods. This depiction of the myth is known for its highly detailed and realistic depiction of the figures and the surrounding environment, with a strong focus on classical aesthetics and a romantic feel.
