"Paysage Arcadien Paysage Avec Diane Au Bain Surprise Par Acteon" is a pair of oil paintings on original canvas by the French artist Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes (1750–1819), who is considered a pivotal figure in the development of landscape painting. These works exemplify Valenciennes' commitment to the plein air technique and his influence on the classical landscape tradition, which sought to harmonize nature and antiquity.

The paintings depict scenes from classical mythology set within idyllic Italian landscapes, a theme that was popular among artists and patrons of the time. The first painting in the pair, "Paysage Arcadien" (Arcadian Landscape), presents an idealized vision of the pastoral countryside, likely inspired by the artist's studies of the Roman Campagna. The second, "Paysage Avec Diane Au Bain Surprise Par Acteon" (Landscape with Diana Bathing Surprised by Actaeon), portrays the moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses when the hunter Actaeon stumbles upon the goddess Diana bathing, an event that leads to his tragic transformation into a stag.

Valenciennes' work is characterized by its attention to atmospheric effects and the accurate rendering of light, which he believed were crucial to capturing the emotional essence of a landscape. His paintings often served as a form of historical documentation of the scenery and ruins he encountered during his travels, and they played a significant role in the evolution of landscape painting towards a more rigorous study of nature.

The pair of paintings, "Paysage Arcadien" and "Paysage Avec Diane Au Bain Surprise Par Acteon," are significant examples of Valenciennes' oeuvre and reflect his contribution to the neoclassical movement. They not only showcase his technical skill and artistic vision but also embody the 18th-century intellectual spirit that sought to rediscover and reinterpret the classical past through the lens of contemporary art.
