"Diana and Callisto" is a painting by the French artist François Boucher, created in 1744 during the Rococo period, a time characterized by its ornate and highly decorative art style. Boucher, known for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings, was a court painter to King Louis XV and is considered one of the most important representatives of the Rococo aesthetic.

The painting depicts a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses, in which the goddess Diana, the deity of the hunt, chastity, and the moon, discovers the pregnancy of one of her nymphs, Callisto. Callisto, a follower of Diana, had taken a vow of chastity, but was seduced by Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology), who disguised himself as Diana to deceive her. Upon discovering Callisto's betrayal of her vow, Diana is enraged and expels her from the group of nymphs.

Boucher's interpretation of the mythological tale is imbued with a sense of drama and emotion, as well as the sensuality for which his works are known. The figures are rendered with soft, flowing lines and are set against a lush, natural backdrop that exemplifies the Rococo taste for pastoral and romanticized landscapes. The painting is notable for its rich color palette, the delicate rendering of the figures, and the dynamic composition that guides the viewer's eye through the scene.

"Diana and Callisto" is part of Boucher's larger body of mythological works, which often featured gods and goddesses in various narratives of love, deception, and transformation. These themes were popular in the art of the period, reflecting the aristocracy's fascination with classical antiquity and the pursuit of pleasure.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of Boucher's skill in capturing the essence of the Rococo style. It remains an important work for the study of 18th-century French art and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
