Diana Bathing with her Nymphs, with the Stories of Actaeon and Callisto is a 1634 oil painting on panel by Rembrandt. Dimensions: 73.5 x 93.5cm Period: Dutch Golden Age Location: Museum Wasserburg, Anholt.
It shows two episodes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, in both of which someone is punished by the goddess Diana for a sexual offence. On the left, Actaeon is punished for seeing the goddess naked by being turned into a stag and killed by his own hounds. On the right, Diana's other nymphs are tearing off Callisto's clothing to reveal how she has broken her vow of chastity and is now carrying Jupiter's child. For this, Diana expels her from her court and she later gives birth to Arcas before being turned into a bear by Juno, whom Arcas almost kills whilst hunting. Unusually, the painting also includes an image of an elderly couple unrelated to either of the two stories (background) and a middle-aged nymph (in the foreground).-
