Seconda Scena Selva di Diana

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a ceremonial gathering. Figures are engaging in dance-like formations in a clearing. The sky is detailed with clouds, some in the shape of seated figures. The brushstrokes capture the trees and clouds with fine lines, creating texture. The color palette is monochrome, mainly shades of grey. Figures are seen observing or participating in the ceremony, with trees framing the scene on the sides.
