"Diana and Actaeon" is a painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Gillis Coignet, also known as Aegidius Coignet. Created in the late 16th century, this artwork depicts the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where the hunter Actaeon stumbles upon the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology) bathing with her nymphs. As a punishment for his accidental voyeurism, Diana transforms Actaeon into a stag, and he is subsequently chased and killed by his own hunting dogs.

Coignet was known for his Mannerist style, which is characterized by artificiality, grace, and elegance, departing from the more naturalistic tendencies of High Renaissance art. His works often featured complex compositions, elongated figures, and a sophisticated use of color and light, which can be observed in "Diana and Actaeon."

The painting is significant for its interpretation of the mythological subject and its reflection of the cultural and artistic trends of the period. Coignet's rendition of the story captures the dramatic moment of transformation and the emotional intensity of the scene. The work is also notable for its detailed landscape and the intricate portrayal of the figures, highlighting Coignet's skill in composition and his ability to convey narrative through visual means.

"Diana and Actaeon" by Gillis Coignet remains an important example of Northern Mannerist painting, contributing to the understanding of mythological themes in Renaissance art and the stylistic developments of the era. The painting is part of the broader European artistic heritage and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and historical context.
