Diana and Hecate 16th century

"Diana and Hecate" is a 16th-century drawing by Rosso Fiorentino, one of the leading artists of the Mannerist movement. The drawing depicts the Roman goddesses Diana and Hecate, who are both associated with the moon, magic, and the hunt. Diana, the goddess of the hunt, stands on the left, while Hecate, the goddess of magic, kneels on the right. A winged horse, a symbol of both goddesses' power, stands between them. The drawing is characterized by its elongated figures, dramatic poses, and swirling lines, all hallmark traits of the Mannerist style. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of movement and energy, conveying the mythical power of these goddesses.
