Juno

Juno appears in a celestial setting, crowned and holding a scepter as the queen of the gods. Surrounding the central oval frame are emblems of earthly riches, including overflowing treasure chests, bags of coins, and ornate vessels. The peacock, her traditional attribute whose 'eyes' on its tail were often linked to the starry firmament, stands prominently at her side.

In the Renaissance, Juno was frequently allegorized as the element of Air and the patroness of wealth and the 'active life.' Her appearance in this series by Goltzius aligns with the tradition of using mythological figures to represent the governing forces of the cosmos and human temperament.
