Description:
|
The Juno Ludovisi (also called Hera Ludovisi) is a colossal Roman marble head of the 1st century CE from an acrolithic (composite) statue of an idealized and youthful Antonia Minor as the goddess Juno. Antonia Minor (31 January 36 BCE - September/October 37 CE) was the younger of two daughters of Mark Antony and Octavia Minor. She was a niece of the Emperor Augustus and mother of the Emperor Claudius. This work was admired by Wilckelmann, Goethe and Schiller. There is a cast of it in the Goethehaus in Weimar, Germany.
