I saw at Louvre many years ago a huge painting (6-7 meters wide) with
a deer just in the middle of the picture in a forest crossed by sun's
rays. I don't remember anymore. Could you help me to detect that
painting?

One of the versions of "The Death of Actaeon"?

He's referring to the fact that
Actaeon was transformed into a deer and shot with an arrow by a huntsman.
There have been a few versions, featuring various mixes of transformation,
deer, huntsman or sometimes just the deer.

Let me know if you have some examples with only one deer as I
described before. Thanks.
