From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Classical Landscape with Diana (?) and her Nymphs is a 1693 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a bright forest scene with tall trees framing a rocky riverbank. In the foreground, a few people—some standing, some sitting—wear simple clothes. One person in red stands out near the center. The sky is partly cloudy, with light breaking through the leaves. In the distance, a building sits near rolling hills. The red-clothed figure looks like a leader among the group, possibly a mythological character. The way the light and shadow play across the scene is very detailed. This technique is called *chiaroscuro*.
