Diana and Her Nymphs on the Hunt

About this work

This painting shows a woman, Diana, in a red dress, with a bow and arrow. She's surrounded by five nymphs and two dogs. One of the nymphs is being grabbed by a man with horns, who's trying to kiss her. The scene is set in a landscape with trees and a cloudy sky. The woman, Diana, is the main focus of the painting. She's looking straight ahead, with a calm expression. The nymphs around her are all looking in different directions, some of them reacting to the man with horns. The dogs are also looking at the man, as if they're trying to protect the nymphs. The painting is held at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
