Introduction
The Fuente de la Diana Cazadora sits on a roundabout along Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City, unveiled in 1942 and designed by sculptor Juan Olaguíbel as a nude huntress drawing her bow towards the sky. The nudity caused enough controversy that a bronze loincloth was added for years, only removed in the 1960s. Today it is among the most recognisable sculptural landmarks on Reforma, setting the visual rhythm of the boulevard together with the Angel of Independence nearby.
