Juno Comanding the Sun to Set n.d.

"Juno Commanding the Sun to Set" is a delicate line drawing created by English artist John Flaxman, known for his neoclassical style. Depicting the Roman goddess Juno (Greek Hera) instructing the god of the sun, Sol, to set, the drawing showcases Flaxman's mastery of line and form, emphasizing clarity and simplicity. The composition features Juno standing majestically, her flowing robes accentuating her regal presence, while Sol, seated in his chariot, is depicted with a more dynamic energy. This work reflects Flaxman's interest in mythology and his ability to translate ancient narratives into visually compelling art.
