Description:
|
Panel with extremely subtle formal changes of plane from bas-relief to relief; it depicts the moment Diana, surprised by Actaeon while at her bath, turns him into a stag. After having created the panel in Rome, Mosca returned to Florence and donated the work to Duke Cosimo I de 'Medici who greatly appreciated it and rewarded Mosca with the commission for the works in two chapels of the Cathedral of Pisa, executed from 1558-1578.
