Hebe
1782
Angelica Kauffmann, a trailblazing female artist and founding member of the Royal Academy, brings Greek mythology to life in this delicate 1782 print. We see Hebe, the goddess of youth and cupbearer to the gods, gently feeding Zeus's eagle from a small dish while clutching her iconic pitcher. The soft, reddish-brown tones and elegant oval framing give the scene a dreamy quality, perfectly capturing the grace and idealized beauty of the Neoclassical movement.
