Diana og Pan 1540 - 1585

"Diana og Pan" is an etching by Jacques Androuet, completed between 1540 and 1585. The artwork, held at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts the Roman goddess Diana and the Greek god Pan embracing, surrounded by a woodland setting. The scene is captured in a detailed and intimate style, with the figures rendered with a high degree of realism. Cupid, the Roman god of love, is depicted in the foreground, further highlighting the themes of passion and desire within the artwork. The image is a fine example of the etching techniques popular during the Renaissance period, with Androuet's masterful handling of light and shadow adding depth and dimension to the composition.
