EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Diana and Her Nymphs Discovering Callisto's Pregnancy," is a stunning masterpiece created by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius in the late 16th century. The image is based on the mythological tale from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," specifically book 2, plate 7. In the scene, the goddess Diana, clad in flowing robes and armed with a bow and arrow, is discovered in a tranquil woodland setting with her nymphs. The peaceful atmosphere is disrupted as they come upon Callisto, who is revealed to be pregnant with the child of Jupiter, disguised as the goddess. Callisto, who is depicted in the nude, is surrounded by two faithful hounds, loyal companions who have guarded her secret. The engraving showcases Goltzius' exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the mythological narrative, with intricate details and a sense of drama that brings the story to life. The black and white contrast creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the textures of the landscape and the human forms. The image also reflects the artistic influences of the Italian Renaissance and the Dutch Mannerist style, with its dynamic composition and use of chiaroscuro. This engraving is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and the ability of art to capture the imagination and transport us to another time and place. It is a valuable addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 16th century.
