Jacob Matham’s engraving, “Diana's nimfen ontdekken de zwangerschap van Callisto” (Diana’s Nymphs Discover Callisto’s Pregnancy), portrays the Greek myth of the nymph Callisto, who was transformed into a bear by the goddess Juno. This engraving, created between 1588 and 1592, showcases Matham’s skill in depicting the emotional and physical drama of this myth, showcasing the nymphs’ shock and dismay as they discover Callisto’s pregnancy. The engraving’s detailed depiction of the scene and the expressive figures give insight into the artistic sensibilities of the late 16th century. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
