"Diana and Actaeon" is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci, created circa 1597-1602. This artwork is part of a series of mythological and pastoral scenes that Carracci painted for the Camerino Farnese, a private room in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome, which was the residence of his patron, Cardinal Odoardo Farnese. The painting depicts the dramatic moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses when the hunter Actaeon accidentally encounters the goddess Diana, also known as Artemis in Greek mythology, bathing naked with her nymphs in a secluded forest.

In the myth, Diana, outraged at being seen by a mortal in her private moment, transforms Actaeon into a stag, and he is subsequently torn apart by his own hunting dogs. Carracci's interpretation of this scene is celebrated for its dynamic composition, the masterful use of chiaroscuro, and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and gestures. The painting showcases Carracci's skill in blending the classical ideals of the Renaissance with the naturalistic and dramatic elements that characterize the Baroque period.

"Diana and Actaeon" is a quintessential example of Carracci's innovative approach to narrative painting, where he harmoniously combines landscape, figures, and action into a cohesive and powerful visual story. The work is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, and remains an important piece in the study of Baroque art and Carracci's oeuvre. It is often discussed in the context of its influence on later artists, including the French neoclassicist Nicolas Poussin and the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, who both drew inspiration from Carracci's dramatic storytelling and compositional techniques.
