EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Diane de Poitiers, a woman of immense beauty and influence during the 16th century. As the mistress of King Henry II of France, she held a position that was both revered and controversial. In this oil on canvas painting, Diane is depicted as Diana, the goddess of hunting. The image captures her grace and strength as she stands in front of her residence, the majestic Chteau de Chenonceau. This grand structure was a gift from King Henry II himself, symbolizing their passionate relationship. Diane's attire reflects her connection to nature and mythology. She wears an elegant gown adorned with elements reminiscent of Diana's hunter aesthetic - antlers and a quiver filled with arrows rest upon her back. A loyal dog accompanies her by her side, further emphasizing her role as the goddess of hunting. Surrounded by putti - cherubic figures often associated with love and desire - Diane exudes confidence and power. The painting beautifully portrays not only Diane's physical beauty but also hints at the complexities behind this influential woman. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are transported back in time to witness one aspect of French history where art intertwines with politics and passion.
