"Diana and Actaeon" (1785) is a notable painting by Martin Johann Schmidt, an Austrian painter also known as Kremser Schmidt due to his association with the town of Krems. Born in 1718, Schmidt was a prominent figure in the Austrian Baroque painting movement, celebrated for his religious compositions, frescoes, and altarpieces. The painting "Diana and Actaeon" delves into the rich tapestry of classical mythology, depicting the moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses when the hunter Actaeon accidentally stumbles upon the goddess Diana bathing, an encounter that leads to his tragic transformation.

This artwork is emblematic of Schmidt's mastery in blending the divine and the mortal, capturing the intense moment of discovery with a vivid portrayal of emotions and the natural setting. The composition is marked by a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, which serves to highlight the dramatic tension inherent in the narrative. Schmidt's use of color and his ability to render the human form and expressions lend the painting a lifelike quality, inviting viewers into the mythological scene.

"Diana and Actaeon" stands as a testament to Martin Johann Schmidt's skill and creativity, showcasing his ability to breathe new life into ancient stories. The painting not only reflects the artistic trends of the 18th century but also offers insight into the cultural and mythological interests of the period. As such, it occupies an important place in the oeuvre of Schmidt and in the broader context of Austrian Baroque art, representing a significant contribution to the visual arts and the enduring appeal of classical mythology.
