About Gazing Ball (Titian Diana and Actaeon)

The artwork titled “Gazing Ball (Titian Diana and Actaeon)” by Jeff Koons, created between 2014 and 2015, is an oil painting with a glass component. This piece is part of the Neo-Pop Art and Conceptual Art movements, and falls within the genre of nude and mythological painting.

The artwork displays a classical mythological scene reminiscent of Titian’s original painting of “Diana and Actaeon,” portraying a narrative from Roman mythology. The centerpiece is highlighted by a reflective blue glass ball, a signature element in Koons’s “Gazing Ball” series. The reflective sphere adds a modern, conceptual twist, merging contemporary art with historical masterpieces. The composition maintains the original scene’s dramatic interaction and rich colour palette, enhanced by the surreal, mirrored glass ball that invites viewers to become part of the artwork through their own reflection.
