Diana and Her Nymphs Pursuing a Stag 1547

"Diana and Her Nymphs Pursuing a Stag" is an etching by Léon Davent created in 1547. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess Diana and her nymphs hunting a stag in a lush landscape. This scene, framed in an oval composition, shows Diana and her companions in boats, spears in hand, pursuing the stag while other figures watch from the shore. The detailed depiction of the hunting scene and the landscape in this engraving exemplifies the meticulous detail of Davent's work. The piece is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
