"Diana the Huntress" is an engraving by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Matham, created in 1596. The work is based on a design by Bartholomeus Spranger, a renowned Flemish artist who was influential in the development of Northern Mannerism. The engraving depicts the Roman goddess Diana, known in Greek mythology as Artemis, who is the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, and chastity. In the artwork, Diana is typically shown as a young and athletic huntress, often accompanied by a deer or hunting dogs, and carrying a bow and quiver of arrows, symbols of her role as a huntress.

Matham's engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the dynamic representation of the figure, which reflects the Mannerist style's penchant for elongated proportions and complex poses. The work is part of a larger tradition of Renaissance and Baroque art that celebrated mythological subjects, often imbuing them with allegorical meanings related to virtue, beauty, and the natural world.

Jacob Matham (1571–1631), the stepson of the influential engraver Hendrick Goltzius, was a prominent figure in the Haarlem school of engraving. His works are characterized by their technical skill and the influence of his stepfather's style, as well as the Italianate elements that were popular in the Northern European art of the period. "Diana the Huntress" is a testament to Matham's mastery of the engraving medium and his ability to translate the complex designs of other artists into his own distinctive style.

The engraving of "Diana the Huntress" by Jacob Matham is held in various art collections and has been the subject of art historical study, particularly in the context of Northern Mannerism and the transmission of artistic ideas between Italy and the Netherlands during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It remains an important example of Matham's oeuvre and of the enduring fascination with classical mythology in European art.
