18th-Century Brussels Tapestry: Apotheosis of Juno
This tapestry depicts a mythological scene inspired by Greco-Roman art: the apotheosis of Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage, royalty, and women. Known as Hera in Greek mythology, Juno is portrayed here in all her divine majesty.
The goddess, crowned and draped in a sumptuous mantle adorned with peacock feathers—the emblematic animal of Juno—is lifted into the air by a cloud of winged putti (cherubs), celestial figures that reinforce the divine nature of the scene. She holds in her hand a golden scepter, a symbol of her sovereign authority alongside Jupiter (Zeus).
Her starry garment, serene features, and ethereal posture embody power, beauty, and majesty. The cloudy setting and diffused light suggest a celestial realm, while the richness of detail and the vibrancy of the colors reveal the tapestry's technical refinement.
A typical example of the Baroque taste for allegory and mythology, this tapestry exemplifies courtly art, where classical figures were reinterpreted to celebrate power, virtue, and feminine elegance.
In keeping with tradition, this magnificent tapestry has undergone a thorough cleaning, the addition of a hand-sewn linen lining, and meticulous inspection by our experts in our workshop. It is now ready to grace your home.
