The Hours Taking the Horses from Juno's Car n.d.

This pen-and-ink drawing by English artist John Flaxman depicts a scene from Roman mythology. Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and women, is depicted being deprived of her divine horses by the Hours, the goddesses of time. Flaxman's masterful use of line, especially in the flowing drapery and the powerful forms of the horses, is a characteristic of his Neoclassical style. This piece is a testament to Flaxman's influential contribution to the art of illustration.
