"Diana and Actaeon" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Carlo Maratti (also known as Carlo Maratta or Maratti), who was active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This artwork is an interpretation of the classical myth of Diana and Actaeon, as recounted by the Roman poet Ovid in his work "Metamorphoses." The myth tells the story of the young hunter Actaeon, who accidentally stumbles upon the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology) as she bathes with her nymphs. As punishment for his transgression, Diana transforms Actaeon into a stag, and he is subsequently torn apart by his own hunting dogs.

Maratti's rendition of this dramatic encounter captures the moment of surprise and the tension between the mortal and the divine. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, the elegant depiction of the figures, and the use of light to emphasize the drama of the narrative. Maratti's work reflects his mastery of the High Baroque style, with its emphasis on movement, emotion, and theatricality.

As a leading painter in Rome, Maratti was renowned for his religious and mythological scenes, as well as his portraits. His works were highly prized by patrons across Europe, and he was particularly favored by the papacy. "Diana and Actaeon" exemplifies Maratti's skill in blending classical themes with the Baroque aesthetic, making it a significant example of his artistic legacy.

The painting is part of a rich tradition of visual arts interpreting the myth of Diana and Actaeon, which has been a popular subject for artists throughout the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Maratti's version contributes to this tradition with its own unique style and interpretation, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic qualities and its place within the broader context of European art history.
