EDITORS COMMENTS
Jan Saenredam's engraving, "Diana and Callisto" (1599), is a captivating depiction of a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. Set in the lush wilderness of the forest, the image finds the goddess Diana, clad in a crescent moon diadem and holding a bow and arrow, discovering her dear friend and nymph Callisto, who has been transformed into a bear as a result of Zeus's unwanted advances. With a tender expression, Diana reaches out to touch Callisto's swollen belly, revealing her own compassionate nature and the nymph's unexpected pregnancy. Saenredam's masterful use of chiaroscuro, or the interplay of light and shadow, adds depth and dimension to the scene, further emphasizing the intimacy between the two figures. The black and white contrast heightens the emotional intensity, while the intricate lettering at the bottom of the print identifies the subjects and the artist. Jan Pieterszoon Saenredam, a Dutch engraver from the late 16th century, was renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the human form with great sensitivity. This engraving, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to Saenredam's artistic prowess and his contribution to the rich heritage of European art. The image of Diana and Callisto, with its themes of friendship, transformation, and the passage of time, continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into the complexities of human emotion and the enduring power of mythology.
