About the piece

Painted by Flemish master Jacob Jordaens, this dynamic work captures the mythological goddess Diana and her nymphs in a moment of repose. Surrounded by satyrs, hunting dogs, and the day's harvest, the composition exemplifies the rich, fleshy style and dramatic lighting characteristic of the Antwerp school in the late 17th century. The intricate interplay of figures and the naturalistic landscape create a sense of theatrical grandeur.
