About the piece
Painted around 1740 by Pierre Subleyras, this dramatic oil on canvas depicts the goddess Diana descending from the clouds to visit the sleeping shepherd-hunter Endymion. The work is characterized by its sophisticated use of chiaroscuro, highlighting the luminous figures against a deep, nocturnal landscape, and features finely rendered hunting dogs and playful putti.
