Painting oil on canvas depicting the myth of Diana and Atteone measuring 110 x 130 without frame and 125 x 145 with frame by the painter Francesco Solimena. According to the myth, during a hunting trip, Atteone provoked Diana's anger, when he surprised her while she was bathing with her companions in the shadow of the Gargafia forest. The summer heat, in fact, induced her to put away her clothes and cool off by interrupting the hunt. The goddess, to prevent the hunter from saying a word about what he had seen, transformed the young man into a deer by sprinkling water on his face. Actaeon noticed his transformation only when he ran away and reached a spring, where he could reflect himself in the water. Meanwhile, the hunter was joined by his 50 dogs, made furious by Artemis, who, not recognizing him, tore their old master to pieces. The dogs, once devoured Actaeon, set out in search of their master throughout the forest, filling it with painful laments. Later they came to Chiron's cave who gave them an image of their master to ease their pain. Francesco Solimena, also known as L'Abate Ciccio, was a famous Italian painter of the late Baroque current. He was influenced, in his way of conceiving art, by Luca Giordano for creative and very scenographic painting and Mattia Preti...
