"Diana and Callisto (2)" is a notable illustration by the Dutch artist Abraham Bloemaert, created circa 1595. This work is one of Bloemaert's interpretations of the classical myth from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," which narrates the story of the nymph Callisto, a follower of Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology), the goddess of the hunt. The tale unfolds with Callisto's seduction by Jupiter (Zeus) and her subsequent pregnancy, which she strives to conceal from the virgin goddess. However, when her condition is eventually discovered, Diana banishes her, leading to a series of tragic events that culminate in Callisto's transformation into a constellation.

Bloemaert's illustration is a reflection of the Mannerist style that was prevalent in the late 16th century, characterized by elongated figures, complex compositions, and a heightened sense of drama and emotion. The artist's rendition of this mythological scene is imbued with a dynamic tension, as he captures the moment of revelation and the intense reactions of the characters involved. The artwork serves as a testament to Bloemaert's skill in conveying narrative through visual means and his ability to interpret ancient stories through the lens of his contemporary artistic context.

As a prominent figure in the Northern Mannerist movement, Abraham Bloemaert's works are significant for their influence on the development of Dutch Golden Age painting. "Diana and Callisto (2)" is an exemplary piece that showcases the artist's mastery over form, composition, and the depiction of mythological subject matter. The illustration not only offers insight into Bloemaert's oeuvre but also provides a visual counterpart to the rich literary tradition of Ovid's "Metamorphoses," bridging the gap between text and image in the cultural production of the period.
