EDITORS COMMENTS
Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage, childbirth, and the protector of women, is depicted in this etching by the renowned Dutch artist Abraham Bloemaert from the 1610s. The monochromatic image, reminiscent of the Low Countries' artistic heritage, showcases Juno in a regal pose, gesturing with an outstretched hand towards a majestic peacock. The bird, a symbol of renewal and immortality, is often associated with Juno and her power to grant fertility and prosperity. Bloemaert masterfully captures the essence of the goddess, with her serene expression and the intricate details of her flowing robes and ornate headdress. The artist's skillful use of contrasting white and black tones adds depth and dimension to the image, further emphasizing the divine presence of Juno. This etching, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe during the seventeenth century, is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The image invites viewers to contemplate the power and significance of Juno, the goddess of marriage and childbirth, and the role she played in ancient religious beliefs and practices.
