The Winter - Juno beseeches to destroy Eneas' Fleet is a 1850 oil by Eugène Delacroix, a French Romanticism work, depicting Aeneas, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a dramatic scene with a woman, Juno, standing on a cliff, gazing out at a turbulent sea. She is dressed in a flowing red robe, her long hair blowing in the wind. In the foreground, a group of figures are shown in various states of distress, some clinging to rocks or each other as they struggle to stay afloat. The painting's use of color and composition creates a sense of energy and turmoil, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Juno. The artist's skillful use of chiaroscuro adds depth and dimension to the scene, highlighting the contrast between light and dark.
