Diana and Endymion Statue, Mendoza
The sculpture of Diana and Endymion depicts the Greek legend. According to one of the versions, Zeus punished Endymion with an eternal sleep spell, and Diana, goddess of forest and hunting, saw him sleeping in the cave and fell in love with his beauty and grace. Since that time, she comes to feast her eyes on Endymion's pulchritude every night. The sculpture shows the moment when Endymion sleeps on the cloud and Diana is looking at his face with veneration and delight. The goddess is holding a veil inflated by the wind, which envelopes two bodies, completing the artistic composition.
