Monomad Diana
Diana the Huntress
Returning to the theme of Bantry House here is a black and white version of the statue 'Diana the Huntress'. She stands proudly in the gardens with the beautiful vista of Bantry Bay in the Background.
As well as the hunt, Diana was also the goddess of the moon and of nature, in Roman mythology. Along with Minerva and Vesta she was one of the three maiden goddesses who swore to never marry.
This particular statue is a little unusual in that Diana is usually depicted wearing a short tunic and hunting boots or naked with a bow and arrow.
Here she looks more suitably dressed for a posh night out! 😂

black and white for formal wear ;) nice picture. I was wondering about the name in your earlier post because she doesn't look like a huntress
Good point @steven-patrick.
As observant as ever. 😁
Nice shot, and good timing with the boat in the background.
Well spotted @rentmoney! 😁
I really enjoyed seeing Diana. That is quite the pose she has, very formidable.
Yeah. She looks a bit like she's telling off a naughty child to me @sunscape. More irritated mother than nature Goddess! 😂

The drapery and folds of fabric on her clothes are very impressive. Beautiful sculpture. Thanks @gillianpearce
