## Commentary

The figure of Diana is based on an antique example. It is assumed that the painting is an allegoric portrait of Diane de Poitiers, the mistress of King Henry II. The style of the painting shows the influence of the Italian painters \(Rosso and Primaticcio\) who worked in Fontainebleau. &lt;p&gt; &lt;table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor=&#34;\#99cccc&#34;&gt; &lt;tr valign=middle&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; border=0 valign=middle&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 9 minutes\):&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/18\_cent/vivaldi\_rv362\_hunt.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antonio Vivaldi: Concerto in B flat major RV 362 op. 8 No. 10 \(Hunt\)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
