 |
Diana and Callisto1712-16Oil on canvas, 64 x 76 cm Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice | |
|
Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, the subject - Diana discovering Callisto's pregnancy - gave Ricci the opportunity to linger gracefully and sensuously on the female nude. THe painting is a graceful reinterpretation of the painting of the same subject by Titian. | |
