Title: Diana Wounding a Satyr

Artist/Creator: Jacques Guebels & Jan Raes (ateliers)

Date of Creation: ca. 1600

Location: second floor, Olmsted Gallery

The 206” x 161” wall panel is from the Diana series that hang in the Gallery of Anderson House. The goddess Diana stands in the center of the scene with her bow, having just shot an arrow at a satyr. 

The red and gold border bears a foliate design with classical figures. The town mark for Brussels (a capital letter B in gold on either side of a red shield) is woven on the left side of the bottom edge. The two makers' marks appear on the right edge, with Raes’ mark at the top and Guebels’ at the bottom.
