EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of summer in all its glory, as depicted by Eugène Delacroix in his masterpiece "Four Seasons, Summer: Diana surprised by Actaeon." The scene is alive with vibrant colors and intricate details, transporting the viewer to a lush forest where the goddess Diana is caught off guard by the hunter Actaeon.
Delacroix's skillful brushwork brings this ancient Roman myth to life, showcasing Diana's beauty and power as she stands surrounded by her nymphs. The tension between Diana and Actaeon is palpable, as he stumbles upon her bathing in a river with her hounds at her side. The moment of surprise is frozen in time, capturing both their shock and vulnerability.
The painting not only serves as a visual feast for the eyes but also delves into themes of transformation and metamorphosis. As Actaeon gazes upon Diana in her vulnerable state, he unknowingly seals his own fate through divine intervention.
This print from Museu de Arte de São Paulo is a true testament to Delacroix's mastery of Romanticism and mythology. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where gods and mortals collide, leaving them captivated by the timeless beauty of this classic artwork.
