EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a moment of surprise and secrecy between Diane, the goddess of hunting, and Callisto, a nymph who is pregnant with Zeus' child. Painted by Pierre Paul Rubens in the 17th century, this masterpiece titled "Diane and nymph Callisto" showcases Ruben's mastery in depicting mythological characters. In the painting, Diane catches Callisto off guard as she discovers her hidden pregnancy. The pregnant nymph desperately tries to conceal her condition, fearing disgrace and judgment from both mortals and immortals alike. Her nakedness symbolizes vulnerability while highlighting the complexity of her situation. Rubens' Flemish style shines through in his attention to detail and use of vibrant colors. The composition draws viewers into the scene, allowing them to witness this intimate encounter firsthand. As we gaze at this artwork displayed at Madrid's Prado Museum, we are transported back in time to an era where mythology was intertwined with everyday life. This print by Josse beautifully captures Rubens' original work for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. It serves as a reminder of how art can bring ancient stories alive while evoking emotions that transcend time itself.
