"Acontius and Cydippe Before the Altar of Diana" is a notable work by Angelica Kauffmann, a Swiss neoclassical painter who was active in the late 18th century. This painting illustrates a scene from an ancient Greek legend, which tells the story of the lovers Acontius and Cydippe. According to the myth, Acontius, a young man from the island of Ceos, falls in love with Cydippe, a noble maiden, during a festival at the sanctuary of Artemis (Diana to the Romans). To win her hand in marriage, Acontius uses a ruse involving an apple inscribed with a vow that Cydippe unwittingly reads aloud, binding her to marry him.

Kauffmann's rendition of this moment captures the couple at the altar of Diana, likely at the point of their union, with a focus on the emotional and moral aspects of the narrative. The painting is a testament to Kauffmann's skill in portraying tender and intimate human interactions, as well as her ability to weave classical themes into her work, which was characteristic of the neoclassical movement. Kauffmann's artistry is evident in the composition's balanced structure, the delicate rendering of the figures, and the harmonious color palette, all of which contribute to the tranquil and solemn atmosphere of the scene.

As one of the few prominent female artists of her time, Angelica Kauffmann was a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London and enjoyed a successful career in England and Italy. Her works often featured classical, historical, and allegorical subjects, and "Acontius and Cydippe Before the Altar of Diana" is a fine example of her engagement with classical antiquity and her contribution to 18th-century art. The painting not only reflects the aesthetic values of the period but also offers insight into the role of women artists in the male-dominated art world of the time.
