## Commentary

The Diana of Anet was for long regarded as one of Goujon&#39;s most famous works. However, it was shown conclusively that the attribution to Goujon was of recent origin and without stylistic support. The sculpture is by a sculptor of high quality and individual style, who has the power to conceive a statue completely in the round. It is less classical than Goujon&#39;s mature style, and springs more directly from the art of Primaticcio, though perhaps with some influence from Cellini&#39;s salt-cellar for Francis I. It is, however, essentially a product of the late school of Fontainebleau. The head, of exquisite if over-refined accomplishment, is characterized by the elaborate treatment of the hair, the small and delicate features, and the mannered drawing of the eyes.
