Juno 1585 - 1588

"Juno" is an engraving by Jacob Matham, created between 1585 and 1588. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess Juno, the queen of the gods, in a dramatic pose, seated on clouds and draped in flowing fabric. A peacock, her sacred animal, stands beside her. The engraving's detail and masterful use of light and shadow create a sense of grandeur and power. This piece, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Matham's skill in capturing the classical spirit through the medium of printmaking.
