Neoclassical Carnelian Intaglio Depicting Diana, Goddess of the Hunt

A finely engraved Neoclassical carnelian intaglio depicting Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, the wilderness and the moon.

Seated in a moment of quiet repose, the goddess holds her bow, accompanied by a faithful hunting dog. The composition evokes the classical ideal of harmony between humanity and nature, capturing Diana not in pursuit of her quarry, but in a rare moment of stillness.

In Roman mythology, Diana embodied independence, purity and the untamed beauty of the natural world. Her presence in Neoclassical glyptic art reflects the enduring fascination with antiquity and its mythological figures.

Dimensions: 21 × 15.7 mm.

The intaglio is offered as a standalone stone, preserving the freedom to appreciate it as an object of art in its own right. Alternatively, ÆON offers the possibility of creating a bespoke piece of jewellery around the stone, conceived in close collaboration with its future owner.
