Rembrandt's rebellion against convention is written all over this print. Diana, the goddess of the hunt, is usually seen with a crescent moon on her forehead, but Rembrandt omitted it, asking viewers to divine her identity from her rich mantle and quiver of arrows. This is no idealized goddess; this is a real woman. Netherlands, Europe
