About this work

This print shows a scene from mythology, where a woman named Atalanta is led by the goddess Diana. It’s part of a set of two prints, mounted side by side. The print was made before the 20th century, so it has an old-school feel but isn’t super rare. The artist, Remigio Canta Gallina, made it using print techniques that were popular back then. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
