In the background of this “hunting tapestry,” from the Lowry Memorial
Gift, is illustrated the story of Diana and Acteon; the rash huntsman is
turned into a stag by the outraged Goddess. In its design the tapestry is
more Renaissance in feeling than Baroque, but the crowded ordinance of the
composition betrays its late date. The carving on the chest below shows
various typical motives of the Jacobean style.
