EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene straight out of Roman mythology, depicting Diana and her nymphs indulging in a refreshing bath amidst the lush greenery of a forest. Painted around 1606 by Francken, this Baroque masterpiece showcases not only the beauty of nature but also the excitement of a stag hunt taking place in the background. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays every element within this enchanting composition. From the serene expressions on Diana's face and her nymphs' graceful poses to the hounds eagerly participating in the hunt, each figure comes alive with vibrant energy. The warm summer landscape further enhances the atmosphere, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this mythical world. A covered table adorned with fine chinaware and an oil lamp suggests that a feast or ceremonial dinner awaits these goddesses after their adventurous day. A decanter filled with lemon-infused water adds a touch of elegance to this divine gathering. In another corner, broiled chicken tempts hungry guests while bread symbolizes sustenance and abundance. Francken masterfully combines allegory and literature into his artwork, creating not just an exquisite visual experience but also evoking emotions through poetic storytelling. This private collection treasure serves as a testament to his talent and creativity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness Diana's restful moment amidst nature's splendor—a fleeting glimpse into ancient Rome where myth meets reality under Francken's skilled brushstrokes.
