Diana and Actaeon
Canon EOS 50D, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM, monochrome development in Lightroom.
I enjoy photographing sculpted reliefs from an angle, rather than frontally. Lighting is usually an issue. For a more 'truthful' photo., see my Friend Elias's photo.:

This work is in the Bargello, of course.
The myth of Diana and Actaeon is in Ovid's Metamorphoses (written ca. 8CE), on the basis of which this relief was sculpted around 1555CE by Francesco Mosca, known as Moschino (the diminutive indicating that he was the son of Simone Mosca, also a sculptor). Diana, goddess of the hunt, turned Actaeon into a stag when he spied on Diana's maidens bathing. He was then eaten by his own hounds.
