EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Diana and Actaeon" we are transported back in time to witness a powerful scene from ancient mythology. The artwork, created by the talented Monogrammist FME (Julius Goltzius) between 1575 and 1595, depicts the fateful encounter between Diana, the goddess of hunting, and Actaeon, a skilled hunter. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to Actaeon who stands before us with his loyal stag companion. Little does he know that his curiosity will lead him down a path of punishment. In an unfortunate twist of fate, Actaeon stumbles upon Diana and her nymphs as they bathe in a secluded well. The artist masterfully captures the tension in this moment; Actaeon's face reveals both awe and fear as he witnesses something forbidden. Meanwhile, Diana sits gracefully amidst her naked nymphs while maintaining an air of regal authority. Actaeon's intrusion into this sacred space triggers a dramatic transformation - he is swiftly turned into a deer by Diana herself. We can almost feel his desperation as he flees from his own hunting dogs who now see him as prey. This stunning piece not only showcases Goltzius' artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of the consequences that befall those who dare to challenge divine authority. Quint Lox has expertly captured every intricate detail in this Liszt Collection print for all art enthusiasts to admire and ponder
