A Masterpiece of High Renaissance Art

Diana and Actaeon

is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Tiziano Vecellio (Titian), finished in 1556-1559. This magnificent work is considered one of Titian's greatest masterpieces, showcasing his unparalleled skill in capturing human emotion and movement. The painting portrays the moment when the hunter Actaeon stumbles upon the bathing goddess Diana and her nymphs, a scene filled with tension and drama.

A Rich History of Ownership

Originally commissioned by King Philip II of Spain, Diana and Actaeon has had an illustrious history of ownership. In 2008-2009, the National Gallery, London and National Gallery of Scotland successfully campaigned to acquire the painting from the Bridgewater Collection for £50m, ensuring its permanent display in the UK. Today, this breathtaking work alternates between the two galleries every five years.
