"Bustes van Diana en Venus" is a photograph by Stéphane Geoffroy, a French photographer, taken in 1879. The photograph depicts two busts, one of Diana and one of Venus, a common subject matter in classical art. Geoffroy’s photograph captures the detail of the sculptures, using a black and white format to emphasize the chiaroscuro and highlight the sculpted forms of the goddesses. The photograph is reminiscent of classical Roman portraiture, showcasing a realism that draws the viewer into the artwork and invites them to contemplate the figures' beauty.
