Relief with Diana

1500

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

The iconography of this relief is unusual. Even in antiquity, it is not particularly common to find a nude depiction of Diana, displayed here alongside the more traditional items with which she is associated: the bow, the quiver and the leash, which is traditionally tied to a dog or a deer. The crescent on the front emphasises the nocturnal aspect.
