About the piece
Painted in 1768 by Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée, this oil on copper work captures the mythological moment where the moon goddess Diana visits the sleeping shepherd Endymion. The painting is a masterclass in French neoclassicism, featuring luminous flesh tones, refined textures, and a harmonious palette of soft blues and warm neutrals.
