EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the majestic figure of Juno, an ancient Roman goddess. Created by the English School in the 18th century, this print captures the essence of Juno's divine presence and her significance in Roman mythology. Juno is depicted here with regal grace, seated on a magnificent chariot pulled by two resplendent peacocks. Her crown symbolizes her status as queen of all gods and goddesses, while her sceptre represents her authority and power. As one of the most revered deities in Roman religion, Juno was known as the protector of women, marriage, and childbirth. The artist masterfully portrays Juno's ethereal beauty through intricate details and delicate lines. The birds accompanying her signify both wisdom and watchfulness—a testament to Juno's role as a guardian deity. This enchanting print originates from Andrew Tooke's renowned work "The Fabulous Histories of the Heathen Gods" published in 1713. It serves as a visual representation of ancient pagan beliefs that were deeply ingrained in Roman society. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are transported back to an era where mythological tales intertwined with everyday life. This print not only celebrates artistic skill but also offers us a glimpse into the rich tapestry of history—where gods reigned supreme and legends came alive.
