The hunter Actaeon stumbles on the goddess Diana bathing with her nymphs in a ruined grotto; she will turn him into a stag, to be torn apart by his own hounds. Titian painted it for Philip II of Spain as one of his poesie, mythologies drawn from Ovid. The National Galleries of London and Scotland bought it together in 2009.

A stag's skull sits on the pillar above Diana, a hint of Actaeon's fate. Diana herself wears a small crescent moon in her hair.
