From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

Apollo and Artemis were the divine twins of the god Zeus and the Titaness Leto. Apollo, the Sun god, was a master musician who delighted the gods on Mount Olympus. He is also associated with prophesy, sickness and medicine. Artemis (later worshiped by the Romans as Diana) was the goddess of hunting and archery, as well as the Moon goddess. Apollo and Artemis shared the heavens, she beginning her journey across the sky in the evening, just as he finished hi day journey. Her attributes include the bow (here borrowed by Apollo) and the faun. During this year Durer was making proportional studies of nudes, of which a number remain. The influence of Mantegna's hard-edged sculptural effects and characteristic responding curves is also evident. Germany, Europe

From LinkedCulture

In this 1502 engraving by Albrecht Dürer, Apollo stands with his back to the viewer, bow drawn and a quiver at his hip, his muscular form built from dense, precisely hatched lines. Diana sits softly at his feet beside a resting stag, her rounder figure a deliberate contrast to his taut classical anatomy. Dürer made this print while conducting systematic proportional studies of the nude, and it captures him actively reconciling Italian Renaissance ideals with his Northern artistic roots.
