''Diana and Callisto'' is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Sebastiano Ricci, created in the early 18th century. The work depicts the mythological story of Diana, the goddess of the hunt, and Callisto, one of her nymph companions, as recounted in Ovid's ''Metamorphoses''. The narrative unfolds with the discovery of Callisto's forbidden pregnancy, a secret revealed against the backdrop of the chaste environment of Diana's entourage.

Sebastiano Ricci, born in Belluno in 1659 and active during the late Baroque period, was known for his vibrant color palette and dynamic compositions, which were influenced by the Venetian School. His style contributed to the development of the Rococo movement, and he is often celebrated for his ability to infuse mythological and historical subjects with a sense of movement and emotional depth.

In ''Diana and Callisto'', Ricci captures the moment of tension when Diana, often associated with chastity and virginity, learns of Callisto's affair with Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology) and her subsequent pregnancy. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to highlight the emotional intensity of the scene. The figures are rendered with a sense of grace and fluidity, typical of Ricci's approach to the human form.

The artwork is part of a rich tradition of artistic interpretations of this myth, with other notable renditions by artists such as Titian and Rubens. Ricci's ''Diana and Callisto'' contributes to this legacy by offering a unique perspective that reflects the changing tastes and artistic sensibilities of the early 18th century.

The painting is held in a notable art collection, and it has been the subject of art historical analysis due to its representation of gender, power dynamics, and the transformation of mythological themes during the Baroque period. As an example of Sebastiano Ricci's mature work, ''Diana and Callisto'' is an important piece that provides insight into the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of European art history.
