From the collection of LVR-Landesmuseum Bonn
Juno is a 1663 oil by Rembrandt, depicting Juno, held at LVR-Landesmuseum Bonn.
The painting depicts a woman dressed in a brown, ornate gown with a low neckline, adorned with a gold crown on her head. She wears a double-strand necklace and holds a scepter in her right hand. The woman's attire and accessories suggest a regal or noble status. The painting's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Rembrandt, a Dutch master known for his expressive use of light and shadow.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
