Photographer Tom Hunter is among the artists campaigning to raise £50 million to buy Titian's Diana and Actaeon for the nation. The National Galleries in London and Edinburgh have until December to raise the money or its owner, the Duke of Sutherland, might sell it on the open market. To highlight the supreme beauty of this painting Tom has recreated the masterpiece in a modern day setting with Kim Cattrall as Diana, David O'Mer (otherwise known as La Clique's Bath Boy) as Actaeon, while art history students from the Courtauld Institute and other members of La Clique play Diana's nymphs.
