Standbeeld van Diana 1636 - 1647

This engraving, created between 1636 and 1647, depicts the Roman goddess Diana, known for her association with the hunt and the moon. The print, measuring 371 mm in height and 237 mm in width, shows Diana in a classic pose, holding a bow and arrow, with a dog at her feet. The artist, Giovanni Luigi Valesio, was a prominent Italian sculptor and draughtsman, who captured the essence of Diana's strength and grace in this detailed engraving, contributing to the rich visual tradition of Roman mythology. The artwork is a testament to Valesio's skill and the enduring fascination with classical themes.
