Diana Bathing Stamp Collection
Diana Bathing or Diana Getting out of her Bath is a painting of 1742 in oils on canvas by François Boucher, depicting the Roman goddess Diana. It was acquired in 1852 by the Louvre, where it now hangs.
The goddess Diana rests after the hunt, assisted in her ritual toilet by a nymph. Under the veneer of the mythological subject matter, this painting is a hymn to the female body. The refined drawing, glowing skin, gentle touch, and luminous palette attest to the artist's maturity.
In the hands of François Boucher, the huntress abandons her willful character. One can recognize the goddess by her standard attributes: the golden crescent she wears in her hair in reference to her connection with the moon, as well as the bow and recently felled game lying next to her.

The goddess-hunter is shown here as a coquettish young girl. Particular attention deserves the landscape in the background – obviously not antique, but quite a European-rural.
