Description
Circle of Jean-François de Troy,
French 1679-1752-
Diana and Callisto;
oil on canvas, bears partial old label inscribed '16..5 / Annibale [Cara]cci' attached to the upper stretcher bar, 80 x 64.4 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
Although perhaps best-known for his paintings of elegant figures in fashionable contemporary dress seated in ornamental gardens or elaborate interiors, De Troy was also celebrated for his mythological scenes. These include his depiction of Diana and Actaeon in the Kunstmuseum Basel [618], his 'Judgement of Paris' which sold at Sotheby's, New York, on 8 June 2007 (lot 260), and 'Acis and Galatea' which sold at Christie's, New York, on 6 April 2006 (lot 276).
The present scene appears to depict the moment in which the goddess Diana, identified by her crescent moon headdress and quiver of arrows, discovers that her maid Callisto has become pregnant by Jupiter. This was a popular subject for artists, having been treated by Titian (c.1488/90-1576) in the mid 16th century.
