Diana and Her Nymphs in a Landscape is a 1644 oil by Laurent de La Hyre, a French Classical Baroque work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a group of women and a dog in the foreground. The women are dressed in classical attire, with some wearing flowing robes and others appearing to be bathing in a body of water. The scene is set amidst lush greenery and trees, with a distant mountain range visible in the background. The painting features a range of colors, from the soft blues and whites of the sky to the earthy tones of the trees and rocks. The brushstrokes are delicate and precise, suggesting a high level of skill and attention to detail. The painting is a beautiful example of 17th-century French art, and it invites the viewer to explore the world of bathing.
Laurent de La Hyre (French pronunciation: ; 27 February 1606 – 28 December 1656) was a French Baroque painter, born in Paris. He was a leading exponent of the neoclassical style of Parisian Atticism.
