Diana's Bath is a captivating oil painting that draws upon mythological themes, depicting the fabled moment when the goddess Diana is interrupted during her bath by the young hunter Actaeon. The scene is both dynamic and expressive, capturing the exact moment when Diana, stationed towards the cliffs in the background, confronts the intruder who has unwittingly stumbled upon her sacred grotto. In the foreground, three of Diana’s attendants are shown in the water, partially hidden behind cloths as they react to the hunter’s presence from behind the rocks.

The artist masterfully conveys the spontaneity and tension of the scene through a careful yet dynamic composition. The rendering is impeccable, with luminous and bright hues that bring the myth to life. This work, originating from a private collection in Milan, bears a label on the reverse from "Schubert Antichitta," a notable Milanese gallery. Despite minor wear on the lower front, the piece remains in excellent condition, showcasing the enduring appeal of classical mythological narratives.
