"Diane Apparaissant à Télémaque" is an 18th-century engraving by the French artist Charles-Nicolas Cochin II (1715–1790), who was a prominent engraver, designer, writer, and art critic of his time. The work is based on an episode from the epic poem "Les Aventures de Télémaque" by François Fénelon, which was originally published in 1699. The poem itself is a didactic work that follows the adventures of Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, and his tutor Mentor (who is actually the goddess Minerva in disguise) as they search for Telemachus's father. It was written as an instruction for the Duke of Burgundy, heir to the throne of France.

In "Diane Apparaissant à Télémaque," Cochin depicts the moment from the narrative when the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology) appears to Telemachus. Diana, the goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature, is shown revealing herself to the young hero, likely offering guidance or delivering a message from the divine realm. Cochin's work captures the elegance and grace of the neoclassical style, which was prevalent during his time and often featured themes from classical antiquity.

Cochin was a master of the Rococo style and later adopted neoclassical elements, which is reflected in the delicate lines and intricate details of this engraving. His works were highly regarded for their clarity, composition, and aesthetic quality. As an engraver, Cochin was responsible for creating reproductions of paintings, which were essential for disseminating the works of artists and making them accessible to a wider audience in the era before photography.

"Diane Apparaissant à Télémaque" exemplifies Cochin's skill in translating the grand themes of literature and mythology into visual art. His engravings not only served as a form of visual storytelling but also played a significant role in the education and cultural development of the French public during the Enlightenment. The piece is an important representation of Cochin's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of 18th-century French art and its connection to classical literature.
