More about this artwork
In the painting, a figure depicted as Bellona, the Roman goddess of war, is dressed in an elaborate, ornate armor, standing against a dark, shadow-filled architectural backdrop. Her breastplate is intricately detailed, and her skirt is richly adorned with golden embroidery. The figure holds a large, embossed shield in her left hand, which features a fearsome face, likely representing a gorgon or similar mythological creature. Her right hand is tucked slightly behind the shield. Adorning her head is a plumed helmet, embellished with golden accents that complement her stern, yet calm expression. Over her armor, she wears a sash that crosses her chest, adding a touch of color to her metallic ensemble.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch draughtsman, painter, and printmaker. An innovative and prolific master in three media, he is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in Dutch art history. Unlike most Dutch masters of the 17th century, Rembrandt's works depict a wide range of style and subject matter, from portraits and self-portraits to landscapes, genre scenes, allegorical and historical scenes, and biblical and mythological themes as well as animal studies.
