EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 7: Diana, a stunning statue of the ancient goddess standing gracefully on a socle. The intricate details of this sculpture transport us back to the 16th century, where the beauty and power of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations are brought to life. Diana, also known as Artemis in Greek mythology, is depicted here wearing a crescent moon in her hair, symbolizing her association with the night sky. In her hands rests a bow and arrow, representing her role as the goddess of hunting and protector of wild animals. The artist behind this remarkable engraving is Philip Galle, who skillfully captures every delicate curve and expression on Diana's face. His work pays homage to Jacques Jonghelinck's Statues of Roman Gods series from 1586. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by the divine aura that surrounds Diana. Her ethereal presence reminds us of our connection to ancient history and mythological tales that have shaped our understanding of deity worship throughout centuries. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage. It invites us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also the significance it holds within human civilization.
