EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bronze sculpture of Neptune, created in the second half of the 17th century by Michel Anguier. Standing at a height of 52 cm, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection. Neptune, also known as Poseidon in Greek mythology, is depicted here with great attention to detail. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this powerful god through his muscular and twisting physique. The drapery that adorns him adds an element of classical elegance to the composition. The patina on the bronze surface gives it a rich and aged appearance, adding depth and character to the sculpture. This baroque-style artwork exudes strength and authority, symbolizing Neptune's dominion over the sea. Intriguingly, Neptune is accompanied by horses in this statuette. Their presence emphasizes his connection with these majestic creatures often associated with water and power. The torsion in their bodies further enhances the sense of movement within the artwork. This photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable sculpture. It invites viewers to appreciate both its artistic value and its representation of mythological themes. With its nudity tastefully portrayed within an artistic context, this image serves as a testament to Anguier's mastery in sculpting human form.
