"Diana and Callisto" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Nikolaus Knüpfer that depicts the mythological story of Diana, the goddess of the hunt, and Callisto, one of her nymphs. The artwork illustrates the moment of discovery when Diana learns of Callisto's forbidden pregnancy, a secret that goes against the vow of chastity taken by all of Diana's attendants. The painting is a reflection of Knüpfer's skill in portraying complex narrative scenes and his ability to capture human emotion and drama.

Nikolaus Knüpfer (1603–1655) was known for his small-scale, highly detailed historical and biblical scenes. Although he was born in Leipzig, he spent most of his career in Utrecht, where he became an influential figure in the development of genre painting. His works are characterized by their vivid storytelling and the use of rich colors, as well as the careful attention to the expressions and gestures of his figures, which add depth to the narrative.

"Diana and Callisto" is a work that showcases Knüpfer's talent for combining mythological themes with a keen observation of human interaction. The painting captures the tension and emotional turmoil of the moment, set against a backdrop that reflects the idyllic yet dramatic world of the gods. The composition, with its dynamic arrangement of figures and attention to landscape and detail, is typical of Knüpfer's approach to art.

The painting not only serves as an example of Knüpfer's artistic abilities but also provides insight into the cultural and societal interests of the 17th-century Dutch Republic. Themes of virtue, chastity, and the consequences of transgression were common in the art of this period, reflecting the moral values of the time.

"Diana and Callisto" by Nikolaus Knüpfer remains an important work for its historical context, its narrative richness, and its demonstration of the artist's mastery of genre painting. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the Dutch Golden Age of painting and its place within the broader context of European art history.
