French school end of the 18th century
"The Bath of Diana".
Oil on canvas. Re-coloured.
It presents slight repainting.
Measurements: 72 x 90 cm; 80,5 x 98 cm (frame).
The present work represents the scene of Diana's bath, a theme taken from the classical mythology and very repeated throughout the history of art since the Renaissance. Thus, we see the classical goddess beside a lake where two of her nymphs are bathing. The best known story related to this scene is that of Diana surprised by Actaeon, narrated by Ovid in his "Metamorphoses". The goddess, devoted to chastity, was bathing in the company of her nymphs in the woods near the Boeotian city of Orcomenus, when the famous hunter Actaeon found her by chance. Fascinated by her beauty, the young man stopped and stared at her nakedness. Diana discovered him and, as punishment, turned him into a stag. She then sent Actaeon's own hounds to kill him, who devoured him. This theme is already represented in ancient art, with examples such as the 5th century BC krater called "Artemis slaying Actaeon" or the Hellenistic marble reliefs of the same myth in the British Museum. Likewise, in 1684 Marc-Antoine Charpentier set to music a lyrical tragedy entitled "Actaeon". It was also depicted by many painters, including Parmigianino, Fontanellato, Titian and Delacroix.
Aesthetically the work is reminiscent of the painting of Rafael Tegeo Díaz (Caravaca de la Cruz, Murcia, 1798-Madrid, 1856), who trained academically at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts. In 1828 he moved to Rome, thanks to a scholarship that enabled him to study under the guidance of Benvenuti and Camuzini. His work was characterised by the depiction of mythological themes, in which he specialised, although he produced other types of painting linked to his work, such as the decoration of the Royal Palace, the Vista Alegre Palace and the Casino de la Reina. He was also an outstanding portrait painter, and even became a painter for the royal court.
