This painting, of the death of Actaeon, was the second one I analyzed for my artistic analysis. Although, it was possibly never finished and perhaps is not as "beautiful," in my opinion it is just as intriguing.

This photo provided a fascinating sculptural look at Actaeon. The way the picture was framed was gorgeous to me, and the depiction of Actaeon's death is also spectacular.
This picture portrayed two small bronze statuettes of both Diana and Actaeon. Their lithe figures in motion captivated me, and I decided to use the picture on my website.

I used this painting in my Ovid project, because it showed an interesting take on the myth. Actaeon's head is already becoming deer-like before Diana splashes water on him.
