Antonio Randa
Classicist, Juno and King Aeolus at the Cave of Winds

circa 1620

About the Item

The painting Juno and King Aeolus at the Cave of Winds by Randa depicts a dramatic scene from Greco-Roman mythology. It portrays Juno, the queen of the gods, visiting Aeolus, the ruler of the winds, within his cavernous domain. Juno, draped in regal attire with an expression of commanding authority, gestures forcefully, emphasizing her divine power. Opposite her, King Aeolus sits bare-chested, his gesture suggesting hesitation or submission as he listens to her request. The interaction likely references the moment Juno persuades Aeolus to unleash the winds to disrupt Aeneas’ journey, a key event in Virgil’s Aeneid. The rich colors, intricate details of their garments, and the tension between the figures bring this mythological moment vividly to life.
