EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Diana" and created between 1607 and 1610 by the renowned Dutch artist Jacob Matham, is a stunning example of the artistic mastery of the Low Countries during the 17th century. Part of Matham's series "Eight Disparate Subjects: Gods and Nymphs," this print showcases the goddess Diana in a serene and contemplative moment. Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, is depicted here in a seated position, dressed in flowing robes and adorned with a crescent moon on her forehead. She is surrounded by the natural beauty of the forest, with a greyhound at her side, its ears perked up and eyes fixed intently on some unseen prey. The goddess gestures gracefully with one hand, possibly signaling the hound to begin the hunt or perhaps simply expressing her love for the animal. The intricate details of the engraving are a testament to Matham's skill as an artist. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life. The contrast between the white robes of Diana and the black and white forest background adds a sense of drama and mystery to the image. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art, showcasing the rich artistic traditions of Europe during the 1600s and 1610s. The Lacma Museum in Los Angeles is fortunate to have this beautiful work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the timeless beauty and significance of this masterpiece.
