"Diana and Actaeon" is a painting by the Flemish artist Paolo Fiammingo, also known as Pauwels Franck or Paolo Franceschi, who was active during the late Renaissance period. 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. In Ovid's telling of the tale in the "Metamorphoses," Diana, outraged at being seen naked by a mortal, transforms Actaeon into a stag, and he is subsequently torn apart by his own hunting dogs.

Fiammingo's rendition of this dramatic encounter is characterized by his Mannerist style, which is evident in the elongated figures, the complex composition, and the vibrant color palette. The painting captures the moment of Actaeon's discovery, with Diana in a defensive posture and Actaeon portrayed with a look of surprise and horror. The figures are set against a lush landscape that reflects Fiammingo's attention to detail and his ability to create a harmonious blend of human figures and natural surroundings.

Paolo Fiammingo was known for his mythological and allegorical scenes, and "Diana and Actaeon" is a prime example of his work in this genre. The painting not only illustrates a well-known myth but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and artistic interests of the period in which Fiammingo worked. The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the late 16th or early 17th century, during Fiammingo's time in Venice, where he was influenced by the Venetian school's use of color and light.

"Diana and Actaeon" by Paolo Fiammingo is an important work for its representation of mythological themes and its embodiment of the stylistic elements of the Mannerist movement. It contributes to the understanding of the transition from the High Renaissance to the Baroque period in European art history. The painting is held in various art collections and has been the subject of art historical study, appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the oeuvre of Paolo Fiammingo.
