Custom Greek Decorative Goddess Marble Fountain of Diana and Actaeon Sculpture 

The story of Diana and Actaeon originates from Ovid’s “Metamorphoses.” Actaeon, a young hunter, accidentally stumbles upon Diana while she is bathing with her nymphs. Angered by his intrusion and feeling violated, Diana transforms Actaeon into a stag. He is then pursued and ultimately killed by his hunting dogs, unable to recognize their master.

The interplay of sculpture and water in these fountains exemplifies the Baroque fascination with movement, emotion, and the interplay between nature and art.
