Diana hands over a horn to Hercules
Etienne Delaune French
Not on view
Engraving, part of a set of 12 mythological scenes, created by Etienne Delaune in Strasbourg in 1573. Each scene is presented inside an oval frame made up of two thin ovals, which contains an inscription for the scene. In this engraving, Diana stands on the center-left, surrounded by her dogs, handing a cornet over to Hercules who, standing with his back to the front, receives it extending his left hand. The inscription suggests this moment as a precedent for Hercules' piety.
