EDITORS COMMENTS
Juno Complaining to Oceanus and Thetis," a captivating engraving published by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius in 1590, is an exquisite representation of a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses, book 2, plate 10. The image portrays the goddess Juno, the Roman deity of marriage and childbirth, in a state of distress as she complains to Oceanus, the ancient Greek god of the sea, and his wife, the sea nymph Thetis. The black and white print, a testament to the artistic mastery of the 16th century, depicts Juno with an expression of anger and despair as she holds a peacock feather fan in one hand and gestures towards the sea with the other. Oceanus, identified by his trident, and Thetis, a Nereid with flowing locks, listen attentively to Juno's grievances. The mythological scene unfolds in a serene, watery environment, with waves gently lapping at the shore. The background is adorned with various mythical creatures and beasts, adding to the fantastical atmosphere. This engraving is a stunning example of the Renaissance interest in mythology and the classical world. The print, now a part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring influence of Ovid's Metamorphoses and the artistic legacy of Hendrik Goltzius. The image invites viewers to delve into the rich mythological tapestry of ancient mythology and explore the complex emotions and relationships between the gods and goddesses.
