65 Cornelis Bloemaert after Pietro da Cortona (1603–1692) – Diana, the protector of wildlife, resting in a forest setting with her two dogs – Engraving (17th century)
This 17th-century engraving presents a classical depiction of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, resting in a serene woodland landscape. She is accompanied by two loyal hunting dogs, symbols of her dominion over the wilderness and animals. The composition captures the elegance and mythological symbolism characteristic of Baroque art, with refined linework and careful attention to texture and form.
The original composition was created by Pietro da Cortona (1596–1669), one of the foremost Italian Baroque painters and architects, renowned for his grand frescoes and dynamic compositions. This engraving was executed by Cornelis Bloemaert (1603–1692), a Dutch printmaker celebrated for his technical precision and for translating Italian masterpieces into the graphic medium.
