Summary

Description
English: PLATE VII

Hera

The regal decoration of the diadem, the fine and noble features, and the matronly bearing of the head, are convincing proofs that this is a portrait of the queen of Olympos and the divine patroness of wedlock. There does not exist in sculpture or in painting a revelation of her character superior to this. From an original marble, probably of the late fifth century B.C., in the Uffizi, Florence (Brunn-Bruckmann, Denkmäler griechischer und römischer Sculptur, No. 547). See pp. 7ff., 163 ff.
