EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the renowned sculpture, "Juno Regina" originally housed in the Boncompagni Museum and now proudly displayed at the National Museum of Rome, Palazzo Altemps. The exquisite craftsmanship and intricate details showcased in this Roman artwork transport us back to ancient civilization. Dating back to the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD, this bust represents a significant piece of European history. Adorned with a diadem and jewelry, Juno Regina emanates power and grace. Every aspect of her headdress - whether civilian, military or religious - is meticulously crafted, reflecting both fashion trends of that era and symbolic elements associated with divinity. The veil delicately draped over Juno's head adds an ethereal touch to her portrait. It hints at her mythical origins as she was revered as one of the most important goddesses in Roman mythology – Hera/Juno. This depiction not only showcases artistic mastery but also serves as a testament to how deeply ingrained these mythological figures were within society. Photographed around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari, this image provides us with a glimpse into antiquity while preserving its allure for future generations. The find itself is an archaeological treasure that sheds light on our ancestors' appreciation for applied arts and crafts. As we admire this print today, it reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by Greco-Roman civilizations. It invites contemplation about their rich cultural heritage and inspires awe for their artistic achievements.
