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. 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. The design was reworked multiple times in the eighteenth century with versions on a yellow ground generally dating between 1722 and 1729. Air shows Juno sitting on a cloud with wind-blowing putti; they are placed above an organ and surrounded by other wind instruments.  Set within a border of flowers and foliage, Juno is flanked by peacocks, which were known to draw her chariot.
