This etching, "Chariot of the Moon, or of Diana," created by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, is a stunning example of his masterful draftsmanship and interest in classical mythology. The composition depicts a goddess riding a chariot drawn by two figures, likely representing the moon goddess Diana and her attendants. Piranesi's attention to detail is evident in the intricate design of the chariot, the flowing garments of the figures, and the depiction of clouds. This artwork is a testament to Piranesi's skill as an engraver and his enduring fascination with the stories and imagery of ancient Rome.
