In each print a frame of flourishing vegetation surrounds nude and semi-nude figures who frolic around an altar with a bust to the god. The caption below the Festival of Diana declares that this celebration is being "troubled by satyrs," whose muscular, goat-legged bodies and leering faces appear at either edge of the wooded grove. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.97/1985.97_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.97/1985.97_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.97/1985.97_full.tif
