Diana en Callisto 1707

Bernard Picart's "Diana en Callisto," created in 1707, is an etching that portrays the mythological tale of Diana's transformation of Callisto into a bear. The composition features Diana, a group of nymphs, and Callisto, who is being transformed. The detailed landscape background and the figures' expressive poses capture the dramatic nature of the story. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Picart's skill in capturing the essence of classical mythology through his meticulous rendering of form and light.
