Deer Hunt with the Story of Diana and Actaeon c. 1580 - 1620

This large tapestry, "Deer Hunt with the Story of Diana and Actaeon," was woven in the 16th or 17th century. It depicts a scene of a deer hunt with the mythical Roman goddess Diana, a skilled hunter, and Actaeon, who was transformed into a stag for seeing Diana bathing. This artwork is an example of the tapestry art form, with its rich and detailed imagery, likely inspired by Roman mythology and classical stories. The tapestry currently resides at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
