The image references a baroque sculpture, kept at Reggia di Caserta, renowned as the Italian Versailles. Actaeon, a Greek hunter, as reported in Ovid's Metamorphoses, mistakingly sees Diana, the goddess of the moon and hunt, while she takes her bath in a forest. Enraged, the goddess transforms Actaeon into a deer. The hunter, unrecognised by his own dogs, is eventually attacked and killed by them. The sculpture and image represents the very moment of the aggression.
