EDITORS COMMENTS
Abraham Delfos' captivating watercolor painting, titled "Diana," dates back to the 1790s and is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Dutch artist during the Eighteenth Century. This masterpiece, now housed in the esteemed Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, portrays the Roman goddess Diana in all her ethereal beauty. Diana, the goddess of the hunt, is depicted in her iconic attire, adorned with a flowing headdress, a quiver of arrows slung over her shoulder, and a bow in her hand. However, in this rendition by Delfos, she is shown in a more intimate moment, her naked form revealed as she gracefully holds her breast, adorned with intricate jewelry. The artist's deft use of chalk and watercolor paint brings the goddess to life, capturing the subtle curves and textures of her body with remarkable precision. The low countries artist, Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem, is believed to have influenced Delfos' work, with his own depictions of nude figures and religious themes evident in this painting. The use of color and the delicate brushwork showcase Delfos' skill and dedication to his craft, making "Diana" a cherished piece of European art heritage. This evocative image invites the viewer to appreciate the raw beauty of the human form, while also acknowledging the religious significance of the goddess. The paper on which the painting is executed bears the weight of history, a silent witness to the artistic evolution of the Netherlands during the Eighteenth Century.
