The Summer - Diana surprised by Actaeon

Hello everyone, my name is Isabella! Welcome to the museum! Today, we're going to look at a painting called "The Summer - Diana surprised by Actaeon." It's a big title, isn't it? But don't worry, the painting is much more fun than its name! nn Can you find the river in the painting? Look closely! Do you see the women bathing in it? They look like they're having a good time, don't they? The woman in the middle is Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting. She's very good with a bow and arrow! nn Now, look at the man hiding behind the trees. That's Actaeon. He's a hunter too, just like Diana. But Actaeon made a big mistake. He accidentally stumbled upon Diana and her friends while they were bathing! Oops! nn See the cute dog running towards Actaeon? That's one of Diana's hunting dogs. He's about to tell Diana that Actaeon is hiding in the bushes! Uh oh, that's not good for Actaeon! Diana is very protective of her privacy. nn This painting tells a story from long, long ago. It's a story about respecting others, especially goddesses! It also shows how artists can tell stories without using words. Isn't that amazing?
