This painting is inspired by the opening of the Aeneid. Juno is enraged at Aeneas' escape from Troy, and, as a result, she stirs up the winds into a terrible storm against him. This painting is supposed to be reflective of Juno's anger. The words, saevae memorem iunonis ob iram, are translated, on account of the mindful anger of savage Juno. This is a quote taken directly from the first book of the Aeneid.
