EDITORS COMMENTS
Diana the Huntress - with Attendants and Borzois" is a captivating work of art that transports us back to the classical world of mythology, specifically the realm of the goddess Diana. Circa 1900, this exquisite print showcases the goddess of the hunt in all her glory, poised and ready to shoot an arrow at her quarry. Diana, the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Artemis, is depicted here in the prime of her youth, clad in a flowing robe and adorned with a diadem and quiver. Her countenance is serene and focused, her eyes fixed on the distant target - an ibex, a wild goat, which stands frozen in fear at the edge of the forest. The goddess is accompanied by her loyal attendants, who assist her in the hunt and ensure that the sacred rites of the hunt are carried out with due reverence. They are dressed in flowing robes, their faces painted with the markings of the hunt - the crescent moon and the horns of the hunted animal. At her feet, two Borzoi hounds, the royal breed of Russia, eagerly await the signal to give chase. Their sleek, elegant forms are a testament to the power and grace of the hunt. The Borzois, with their keen senses and unmatched speed, were revered as the goddess's companions in the hunt, and their presence adds to the mystical aura of the scene. The intricate details of the print, from the delicate folds of the goddess's robe to the textured bark of the trees, transport us to a time when the hunt was a sacred rite, a time when the natural world held a special place in the hearts and minds of the people. This beautiful work of art is a reminder of the enduring power of mythology and the timeless allure of the hunt.
