Antique Engraving Titian - Diana and Actaeon, Mythological Scene King George IV

Description:

A fine early 19th century engraving after Titian’s masterpiece “Diana and Actaeon”, one of the great mythological paintings commissioned by Philip II of Spain. The dramatic composition shows Actaeon stumbling upon the goddess Diana and her nymphs bathing, a moment that seals his tragic fate.

Engraved and published in London with dedication to His Majesty George IV, this print reflects the 18th–19th century admiration for Titian’s Venetian mythologies and the desire to reproduce them for collectors and patrons of the arts.
