Cephalus and Pan at the Temple of Diana

Italienische Malerei 1515–1530, hacia 1520/1522

This is a fresco of an elegant building with a garden and waterway in front of it. The building is pale orange with white columns, a triangular pediment, and large windows. There is a red doorway at the top of a few stairs that shows a brown interior. A few people sit or stand on the steps by the doorway, looking in the building. On the left, two people walk towards the doorway. One of them has a bare chest and the legs of a goat, while the other is a person in a pink tunic with blond hair and white boots. Both people have pale skin. Closer to us, there is a green garden filled with green plants and red flowers, with a stream or water feature flowing in front of it, bordered by reeds and green grass.
