Allegory of Winter with Diana the Huntress is a 1750 ink by Johann Georg Bergmüller, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a winter scene with Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, in the center. She is surrounded by people and animals, and there are clouds and a sun in the sky. The image is detailed and has a lot of texture. In the foreground, there are people and animals gathered around Diana. Some of them are holding objects, like a bow and arrow, while others are just standing or sitting. The animals include dogs and deer, which are often associated with hunting. The etching is done in a Baroque style, which was popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. It's a technique that involves using a sharp tool to scratch designs onto a metal plate, which is then used to print the image. The National Gallery of Art, Washington has a large collection of Baroque art, including this etching.
Johann Georg Bergmüller (1688–1762) was an artist, born in Türkheim.
