More about this artwork

The painting "Diana" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, completed in 1867, depicts a scene of mythological and pastoral inspiration, with tones of realism reflected in the tactile qualities of the paint and human figure.In the center of the artwork, there is a woman portrayed semi-nude, embodying the Roman goddess Diana, known as the goddess of the hunt. However, this representation diverts from traditional depictions of Diana being athletically lean and eternally youthful; here, Diana is represented with a fuller, more realistic body type, adding a sense of human vulnerability to the divine figure.Diana is seated on a rock and has a bow in her left hand, with her right hand poised in a gesture that gives a sense of arrested motion, as if she has just lifted the bow or is about to use it. Below and beside Diana, a deceased stag lays at her feet, reinforcing her identity as a huntress.The setting of the painting is a natural landscape that includes a background of trees and foliage, which adds to the atmosphere of serene wilderness. The goddess wears a simple garment around her waist, and her soft flesh tones contrast with the greens and grays of the natural background.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."
