About the piece
Painted in 1727 by Samuel Massé, this dramatic work captures a pivotal moment from Virgil's Aeneid. Juno, accompanied by her peacock, negotiates with Aeolus to unleash a storm against the Trojan fleet, while a group of graceful nymphs reclines in the clouds. The composition masterfully balances the dark, grounded figure of the wind god against the luminous, ethereal presence of the Olympian queen.
