Hera Hiding during the Battle of the Gods and Giants is a 1643 unspecified by Unknown, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a young woman lying under a rock near water, hiding with a parasol. Two peacocks sit on the rock, and a dog waits nearby. The scene feels quiet, like she’s waiting for danger to pass. This painting copies an older version in Moscow. The artist is unknown, but the careful details—like the peacocks and the dog—suggest someone practiced at copying myths. The colors are soft, making the scene feel still, not dramatic. If you like this, explore more at the Rijksmuseum. They have other quiet, myth-inspired works like it.
