Sculpted head of Juno 1531 - 1576

This 16th-century engraving by Giulio Bonasone, titled "Sculpted head of Juno", depicts a bust of the Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter. The image is highly detailed, with a focus on the delicate features and expressive eyes of the goddess. Bonasone, born in 1510 and known for his mastery of engraving, captures the classical beauty and majesty of Juno in this work, which is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Juno, symbolizing marriage, fertility, and women's power, was a prominent figure in Roman mythology, and Bonasone's engraving serves as a visual testament to her enduring influence.
