Diana 1688 - 1689

"Diana", an etching created by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe in 1688-1689, portrays the Roman goddess of the hunt Diana in a relaxed pose, holding a spear and accompanied by a dog. The detailed cityscape in the background and the inclusion of various animals in the foreground depict Diana's domain in the wilderness, referencing the goddess's association with nature. This artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and showcases de Hooghe's mastery of etching, a technique popular in the 17th century.
