Diana Resting, or The Nymph of the Fountain
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder, created in 1537. This exquisite artwork, measuring 48x74 cm, can be found at the Musee des Beaux-Arts et d'Archeologie in Besancon, France. The painting depicts a serene and ethereal scene where Diana, the goddess of hunting and known as the huntress, finds respite amidst nature's beauty. She reclines gracefully outdoors with her quiver full of arrows and bow nearby. The landscape surrounding her is lush and vibrant, adorned with colorful birds that add to the enchantment of this composition. Cranach masterfully captures Diana's feminine form in his signature Northern Renaissance style. Her nude figure exudes both strength and vulnerability as she takes a moment to rest from her divine duties. A Latin inscription further adds depth to this piece while emphasizing Diana's role as a powerful deity. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Cranach's artistic prowess and his ability to depict mythological themes with elegance and finesse. It invites us into a world where ancient gods roam freely among nature's wonders.
