About the piece
Painted by Luca Giordano in 1675, this work captures a tender yet dramatic moment from Greek mythology. Diana, draped in billowing blue silk and crowned with a silver crescent, gazes down at the sleeping youth Endymion while his hunting dogs watch on. The masterfully handled chiaroscuro and dynamic movement are hallmarks of Giordano's Neapolitan Baroque style.
