description: The painting depicts a scene from the classical myth of Hippomenes and Atalanta as recounted in Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Book X, verses 560–707). The episode had already been narrated by earlier writers – among them Hesiod, Sophocles, Euripides, and Apollodorus – whose accounts, though differing in minor details, were essentially the same.
