Stefano della Bella's etching, "Diana, from 'Game of Mythology'" (1644), depicts the Roman goddess Diana, who is known for hunting and the moon, in a woodland setting. She sits amongst trees with two dogs by her side, emphasizing her connection to the natural world. This etching is part of a larger series, "Jeu de la Mythologie," which features illustrations of mythological figures, demonstrating Bella's talent for capturing the essence of these stories in his work. The etching is notable for its intricate detail and use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.
