"Diane Découvrant la Grossesse de Callisto" is a notable painting by Frans Wouters, a Flemish Baroque painter, draughtsman, and etcher who was active during the early to mid-17th century. This artwork delves into the rich tapestry of classical mythology, depicting a moment from the story of Callisto, a nymph associated with the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology), who is the deity of the hunt, the wilderness, and childbirth, among other things.

The painting captures the dramatic moment when Diana discovers Callisto's pregnancy, a secret that Callisto had been desperately trying to conceal. According to the myth, Callisto was one of Diana's followers, who had taken a vow of chastity. However, Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology), the king of the gods, lusted after Callisto and deceived her by taking on the appearance of Diana herself. The resulting pregnancy was a direct violation of her vow, leading to her eventual transformation into a bear and then into the constellation Ursa Major, a narrative that has been a source of inspiration for many artists throughout history.

Frans Wouters, who was known for his landscapes, historical paintings, and works based on classical mythology, brings a delicate and sensitive portrayal to this mythological scene. His use of color, composition, and the emotional expressions of the figures highlights the tension and drama of the moment. Wouters' ability to convey the narrative and the moral complexities of the mythological story, along with his skillful painting technique, makes "Diane Découvrant la Grossesse de Callisto" a significant work in the context of Baroque art.

The painting not only reflects the artistic trends of the 17th century but also offers insight into the cultural and societal norms of the time, particularly in relation to themes of chastity, deception, and transformation. As such, it remains an important piece for scholars and enthusiasts of Baroque art, mythology, and the oeuvre of Frans Wouters.
