This charcoal sketch by Eugène Delacroix, "Winter Juno Beseeching Aeolus to Destroy the Fleet," depicts the Roman goddess Juno in a dramatic plea to Aeolus, the god of wind, to unleash a storm upon the Trojan fleet. Delacroix, known for his Romantic style, captures the intensity of the scene with vigorous strokes, emphasizing Juno's desperation and the turbulent atmosphere. This unfinished work is a testament to Delacroix's powerful ability to convey emotion and narrative through line and form.
