Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo’s “Apollo and Diana” is a depiction of the Greek god Apollo, god of music and light, holding a lyre, and his sister, Diana, goddess of the hunt, holding a quiver of arrows. The figures are depicted in a heavenly setting, seated upon clouds and surrounded by light, a symbol of their divine nature. Tiepolo was known for his elegant and graceful style, often incorporating themes from classical mythology in his work. The harmonious composition and soft colors create a serene and celestial atmosphere, highlighting the artistic beauty and symbolic significance of the divine twins.
