"The Goddess Diana in Her Chariot Surrounded by Representations of the Signs of the Zodiac" is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Lorenzo Costa the Younger, also known as Lorenzo Mantovano. This work is located in the Sala dello Zodiaco, which is part of the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy. The fresco, dating from the 16th century, is a significant example of the Mannerist style that was prevalent in the late Renaissance period.

The central figure of the fresco is Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature, who is depicted riding her chariot across the sky. The chariot is often portrayed as being drawn by deer, which are sacred to her. Surrounding Diana are the twelve signs of the zodiac, which are intricately interwoven into the composition, highlighting the connection between the celestial and the mythological. The inclusion of the zodiacal symbols reflects the period's interest in astrology and the belief in the influence of celestial bodies on human affairs.

Lorenzo Costa the Younger was a prominent artist of his time, known for his work in the Ducal Palace of Mantua and for continuing the artistic legacy of his father, Lorenzo Costa the Elder. The Sala dello Zodiaco's frescoes are considered one of his masterpieces, showcasing his skill in composition, use of color, and the ability to imbue his figures with a sense of grace and movement.

The fresco is an important cultural artifact, reflecting the artistic, philosophical, and scientific interests of the Renaissance. It is a testament to the era's fascination with classical mythology, humanism, and the exploration of the natural world. As a piece of the Palazzo del Te's decorative scheme, it contributes to the overall narrative and aesthetic experience intended by the patron, Federico II Gonzaga, the Duke of Mantua, and the architect and painter Giulio Romano, who designed the palazzo.

Today, "The Goddess Diana in Her Chariot Surrounded by Representations of the Signs of the Zodiac" is not only an object of artistic admiration but also a subject of scholarly interest, offering insights into the cultural and historical context of the Italian Renaissance.
