Portières des Dieux

One of the most successful series of Gobelins tapestries was the Portières des Dieux, which shows the seasons and the elements personified by classical gods and include signs of the zodiac. Air shows Juno, sitting on a cloud with wind-blowing putti blowing. They are placed above an organ and surrounded by other wind instruments. Juno is flanked by Peacocks, attributed to Juno and known to draw her chariot, set within a border of flowers and foliage.

In 1699 the painter Claude Audran III was commissioned to design this series for the Manufacture Royale de Gobelins, which had re-opened that year.
