In tonight's show we go behind the scenes of a photo shoot with the artist Tom Hunter, in which he recreates Titian's Diana and Actaeon. In this modern day version, the fierce and powerful Diana is portrayed by Kim Cattrall, an actor known for playing strong women, while Actaeon and the nymphs are played by members of La Clique and art history students from the Courtauld. Hunter has created many pictures of this type, including a lovely version of Vermeer's A Girl Reading at an Open Window.
