Diana the Huntress

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 610
Giampietrino was among the most faithful Milanese pupils of Leonardo da Vinci. This picture, which shows the goddess of the hunt drawing an arrow, is inspired by the figure of Diana from a famous set of engravings designed by the Florentine Rosso Fiorentino and dated 1526. It may have once hung alongside three other full-length standing images of goddesses.
