"Juno Putting the Eyes on the Peacock's Tail" is a captivating Baroque painting created by the Italian artist Orazio Riminaldi in the early 17th century. Riminaldi, born in Pisa in 1593, was a prominent figure in the Baroque movement, known for his dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to detail. This particular work exemplifies his mastery in these areas and stands as a testament to his artistic prowess.

The painting depicts a mythological scene inspired by ancient Roman mythology, where the goddess Juno, known as Hera in Greek mythology, is placing the eyes of the giant Argus on the tail of a peacock. According to the myth, Argus was a hundred-eyed giant tasked with guarding Io, one of Zeus's lovers, who had been transformed into a cow. After Argus was slain by Hermes, Juno honored his vigilance by transferring his eyes to the tail of her sacred bird, the peacock. This narrative is vividly brought to life through Riminaldi's dynamic composition and rich color palette.

In "Juno Putting the Eyes on the Peacock's Tail," Riminaldi employs a dramatic chiaroscuro technique, creating a striking contrast between light and dark areas that enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures. Juno is portrayed with a serene yet authoritative expression, her divine status emphasized by the ethereal glow surrounding her. The peacock, with its iridescent feathers, is rendered with exquisite detail, showcasing Riminaldi's skill in capturing the natural beauty of the bird.

The painting not only reflects Riminaldi's technical skill but also his ability to convey complex mythological themes with emotional depth and clarity. It remains a significant work within his oeuvre and a fine example of Baroque art's fascination with mythology, symbolism, and the interplay of light and shadow.
