The sculpture Diana the Hunter also known as Diana Nemorensis and Artemis pays homage to the revered goddess of the hunt, animals, woodland, and the moon. Worshipped by many cultures, she held a significant place in mythology and religion, with shrines dedicated to her in various localities, including Capua and Aricia near Rome. Her posture exudes strength and determination, with her legs firmly locked and her body poised in perfect hunter’s form.

Signed by the artist Preiss, this sculpture is a timeless tribute to the enduring legacy of Diana and her significance in mythology and feminist iconography.
