"Diane et Actéon" is a notable painting by the French artist Charles Joseph Natoire, a prominent painter of the Rococo era. Created in the 18th century, this artwork depicts the mythological tale of Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology) and Actaeon from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." In the myth, Actaeon, a young hunter, accidentally stumbles upon the goddess Diana bathing in a forest spring with her nymphs. As a punishment for seeing her unclothed, Diana transforms Actaeon into a stag, and he is subsequently chased and killed by his own hunting dogs.

Natoire's interpretation of this classic myth is characterized by its dynamic composition, soft color palette, and the graceful depiction of figures, all of which are hallmarks of the Rococo style. The painting captures the dramatic moment of transformation with a sense of movement and emotional intensity, reflecting the artist's skill in narrative representation.

Charles Joseph Natoire (1700–1777) was an influential French painter and teacher who became the director of the French Academy in Rome. His work includes historical and mythological scenes, as well as decorative pieces for the residences of the French nobility. "Diane et Actéon" is one of his many works that draw upon classical mythology, showcasing his ability to blend artistic elegance with storytelling.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the visual culture of the Rococo period. It exemplifies the era's fascination with classical antiquity and the natural world, as well as the period's penchant for sensual and playful themes. "Diane et Actéon" remains an important example of Natoire's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic contributions to 18th-century French art.
