"Diana and Endymion" is a Baroque-era painting by the Italian artist Benedetto Gennari II (1633–1715), a member of the prominent Gennari family of painters from Cento. The painting depicts the mythological tale of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and chastity, and Endymion, a handsome mortal shepherd. According to the myth, Diana, struck by Endymion's beauty, falls in love with him and visits him nightly while he is in eternal slumber, granted by Jupiter at Diana's request to preserve his youth.

Benedetto Gennari, a nephew and pupil of Guercino, was known for his religious and mythological scenes, often characterized by their vibrant color palette and dynamic compositions. "Diana and Endymion" exemplifies Gennari's skill in capturing the emotional intensity of the scene, as well as his ability to render the softness of flesh and the intricate details of fabric and nature.

The painting is a testament to the influence of the Carracci school and the Bolognese Baroque style, with its emphasis on clarity, controlled emotion, and the use of light and shadow to achieve a sense of depth and volume. Gennari's work often reflects the transition from the High Baroque to the more decorative and elegant Rococo style that would become prevalent in the 18th century.

"Diana and Endymion" has been admired for its romantic portrayal of the lovers and its successful fusion of the sensual and the divine. The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the later period of Gennari's career, likely painted in the late 17th or early 18th century. The work is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in several museums, contributing to the understanding of Baroque art and the enduring appeal of classical mythology in European painting.
