The Peacock complaining to Juno 1881

"The Peacock Complaining to Juno" is a watercolor painting by Gustave Moreau from 1881. It depicts the Roman goddess Juno, seated on a throne, listening to the complaints of a peacock, her sacred animal, with a dramatic backdrop of clouds and a distant cityscape. Moreau's work is known for its opulent symbolism and mythological themes, often inspired by ancient Greek and Roman literature. This painting is a prime example of his style, featuring a richly detailed and ethereal atmosphere. Today, it is housed in the Musée National Gustave Moreau in Paris, France.
