About the piece

This 1750 oil painting by Sebastiano Ricci captures the Roman goddess Diana in a soft, luminous light against a deeply shadowed backdrop. Seated with a quiver of arrows at her feet and her dog resting nearby, the figure exudes a calm, mythological grace typical of Ricci’s masterful late Baroque style.
