"Diana and Actaeon" is a 16th-century oil painting by Swiss artist Joseph Heintz the Elder, created in the 1590s. The painting depicts the mythological story of Actaeon, a hunter who accidentally stumbles upon the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology) as she bathes with her nymphs. As punishment for his transgression, Diana transforms Actaeon into a stag, and he is subsequently torn apart by his own hunting dogs. This narrative is a popular subject in classical art, illustrating themes of voyeurism, punishment, and the dichotomy between man and nature.

Joseph Heintz the Elder, born in Basel in 1564 and died in Prague in 1609, was a prominent figure of the late Renaissance period. He was known for his skillful handling of mythological and religious subjects, as well as his work as a portraitist and architect. Heintz's rendition of "Diana and Actaeon" is notable for its dynamic composition, attention to anatomical detail, and the vivid portrayal of the figures' emotions. The painting is a testament to the artist's mastery of the Mannerist style, characterized by elongated forms and complex poses.

The artwork serves as an example of the cultural exchange between the Italian Renaissance and Northern European art, as Heintz spent significant time in Italy, where he was influenced by the works of Venetian masters. "Diana and Actaeon" by Joseph Heintz the Elder is an important piece within the artist's oeuvre, offering insight into the artistic trends and mythological interpretations of the late 16th century. The painting's current location and ownership, as well as its provenance and exhibition history, contribute to its historical and artistic significance.
