"Diana Und Callisto" is an exquisite engraving created by the Dutch artist Jacob Matham in the early 17th century. Matham, born in 1571 and passing in 1631, was a prominent figure in the Dutch Golden Age of art, known for his masterful engravings and his role as a leading printmaker in Haarlem. He was the stepson and pupil of the renowned engraver Hendrick Goltzius, from whom he inherited a meticulous technique and a keen eye for detail.

The engraving "Diana Und Callisto" depicts a scene from classical mythology, specifically from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The narrative centers around the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology) and her nymph Callisto. According to the myth, Callisto, a follower of Diana, is seduced by Jupiter (Zeus) and becomes pregnant. When Diana discovers Callisto's pregnancy, she is enraged and banishes her from her retinue. The moment captured by Matham is one of dramatic revelation and emotional intensity, as Diana confronts Callisto, who is often depicted in a state of distress and vulnerability.

Matham's engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the dynamic composition that brings the mythological story to life. The figures are rendered with a high degree of realism, showcasing Matham's skill in depicting the human form and his ability to convey complex emotions through facial expressions and body language. The background, often filled with lush landscapes and classical architecture, adds depth and context to the scene, enhancing the overall narrative.

"Diana Und Callisto" reflects the influence of both Matham's mentor, Goltzius, and the broader artistic trends of the time, which favored detailed engravings and classical themes. The work is a testament to Matham's technical prowess and his ability to interpret and immortalize mythological tales through the medium of engraving. Today, "Diana Und Callisto" remains an important example of early 17th-century Dutch printmaking and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
