Diana and Endymion 1650 - 1700

"Diana and Endymion" is an etching by Giuseppe Diamantini, an Italian artist who lived from 1621-1705. The print depicts the Greek myth of Diana, the goddess of the hunt, falling in love with the shepherd Endymion. The artwork features a complex composition with a dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of Diamantini's style. This scene is a popular subject in art, and Diamantini's interpretation is a powerful and emotive portrayal of the story. The artwork can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
