EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture titled "Juno, 1776" created by Joseph Nollekens. Standing at an impressive height of 139.1 cm, this marble masterpiece can be found in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. The sculpture depicts Juno, the Roman goddess and queen of gods, with remarkable grace and beauty. Her regal posture and serene expression exude a sense of power and authority that is characteristic of her mythological persona. As one of the most revered figures in Greek mythology, Juno was known as Hera to the ancient Greeks. Commissioned by Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquis of Rockingham for his Grosvenor Square House in London, this artwork originally formed part of a larger group called "The Judgement of Paris". The group portrayed a pivotal moment from the Trojan War when Paris had to choose which goddess was fairest: Hera (Juno), Athena (Minerva), or Aphrodite (Venus). Nollekens' attention to detail is evident in every delicate curve and intricate feature sculpted into this piece. The timeless elegance captured within its form transports viewers back to an era steeped in legend and myth. As we gaze upon this stunning representation of Juno, we are reminded not only of her significance within classical mythology but also how art has the power to transcend time and captivate our imaginations with its enduring beauty.
