EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Diana and Actaeon" we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment from Greek mythology. The artwork, created by Hans Bol and an anonymous artist between the years 1550 and 1650, beautifully captures the essence of Ovid's Metamorphoses. The scene unfolds deep within a lush forest, where a young prince named Actaeon stumbles upon a hidden grotto. Little does he know that fate has led him to witness something forbidden - the nymphs bathing under the watchful eye of Diana, goddess of the hunt. As Actaeon enters the cave, his eyes widen with surprise as he beholds Diana standing there in all her naked glory. In an instant, his punishment is set into motion - for daring to see what mortals were never meant to see. Diana swiftly transforms Actaeon into a stag before his very eyes. His once strong hunter's body now replaced by four hooves and antlers atop his head. As he raises his arms in confusion and fear, it becomes clear that he will forever roam these woods as one of its inhabitants rather than their ruler. This stunning piece by Quint Lox serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a reminder of how curiosity can lead us down unexpected paths with irreversible consequences.
