EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne Catharine Mouy, Countess of Broglia, gracefully embodies the mythological figure of Diana, the Goddess of the Hunt, in this 17th century mezzotint print by Pieter Schenk. The Countess, dressed in an elegant and ornate hunting apparel, holds a bow and quiver of arrows, symbolizing her role as a skilled huntress and protector of wildlife. The image, titled "Anne Catharine Mouy, Countess of Broglia, as the Goddess Diana," is a testament to the aristocracy's fascination with ancient mythology and the concept of the noble hunt. The Countess, with her regal bearing and serene expression, gazes away from the viewer, lost in thought or perhaps in the pursuit of her quarry. Her attire, consisting of a richly decorated gown, intricately designed bodice, and a flowing veil, is reminiscent of the Italian Renaissance and the opulence of the Dutch and Italian aristocracy. The print, created in black and white, adds an element of timelessness and mystery to the image. The presence of two dogs at her feet further emphasizes her connection to the natural world and her role as a huntress. The print, a masterpiece of Dutch and Flemish art, is a valuable addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the 17th century. Pieter Schenk, also known as Petrus Schenck or Peter Schenk the Elder, was a renowned Dutch engraver and printmaker, known for his intricate and detailed mezzotints. This print, a testament to his skill and artistic vision, continues to captivate viewers and inspire admiration over three centuries after its creation.
