"Diana en Endymion" is a print by Abraham de Bruyn created between 1550 and 1587. The print depicts the Greek myth of Diana, goddess of the hunt, and Endymion, a shepherd, who was granted eternal sleep by Zeus. The image showcases Diana, accompanied by a cupid, as she gazes upon the slumbering Endymion. The scene is set in a picturesque landscape with trees and a distant city in the background, highlighting the classical influence on de Bruyn's artistic style. This piece is a testament to de Bruyn's talent as a printmaker and his mastery in capturing mythological narratives in exquisite detail. This print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
