"Diana and Actaeon" is a celebrated Renaissance painting by the Venetian master Tiziano Vecellio, known as Titian, completed in 1556–1559. This masterpiece is part of a series of seven famous canvases known as the "poesie," which were painted for Philip II of Spain. The series depicts various mythological scenes and was intended to showcase the poetic and narrative abilities of the artist through the visual medium.

The painting illustrates the moment from Ovid's "Metamorphoses" when the young hunter Actaeon stumbles upon the goddess Diana, the deity of the hunt, the moon, and chastity, as she bathes with her nymphs in a secluded forest grotto. Unintentionally witnessing the divine Diana in her vulnerable state, Actaeon is punished by the goddess for his transgression. In a dramatic twist of fate, he is transformed into a stag, and later torn apart by his own hunting dogs.

Measuring 185 cm × 202 cm, "Diana and Actaeon" is renowned for its dynamic composition, rich color palette, and the intricate depiction of the figures and their surroundings. The painting is a testament to Titian's mastery of capturing the human form, the play of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity of the scene. The figures of Diana and Actaeon are rendered with a palpable sense of movement and drama, as the hunter's intrusion disrupts the serene and private moment of the bathing goddess.

The work is also notable for its exploration of themes such as the power of the divine, the consequences of human error, and the interplay between voyeurism and chastity. Titian's use of color and his ability to convey texture and detail contribute to the painting's enduring reputation as a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance.

"Diana and Actaeon" has a storied provenance and has been held in various prestigious collections over the centuries. It is currently housed in the National Gallery in London, as part of a sharing agreement with the National Galleries of Scotland. The painting remains a focal point for scholarly research and is widely admired by both art historians and the general public for its artistic and historical significance.
