"Diana Presenting the Catch to Pan" (1615) by Peter Paul Rubens is an oil-on-canvas painting depicting the Roman goddess Diana, accompanied by hunting companions, presenting her spoils of the hunt to the Greek god Pan. The painting showcases Rubens' masterful use of color and light, creating a sense of dynamism and movement. Diana's red drapery and the vibrant hues of the fruit and game contrast against the muted tones of the background, creating a visually striking composition. The piece reflects the artist's interest in mythological themes and his ability to portray the human form with both realism and idealism. It is a prime example of Rubens' late Baroque style, known for its sensuality and dramatic storytelling. The painting is currently located in the National Museum of Serbia in Belgrade.
