EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Invocation of Neptune, 1866" transports viewers back to ancient Greece, where the mystical realm of gods and goddesses comes alive. Painted by Jean Jules Antoine Lecomte du Nouy, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 39x31 cm and is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lille, France. In this enchanting scene, a priestess stands at the forefront with her arms outstretched towards the heavens. She invokes the mighty spirit of Neptune, god of the sea and earthquakes. The air is thick with incense smoke as she offers a spellbinding ritual to summon his power. With an aura of sorcery surrounding her, it's hard not to be captivated by her presence. Dressed in flowing robes adorned with intricate symbols of witchcraft and mysticism, she holds a branch high above her head as if channeling Poseidon's divine energy. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from wisps of smoke curling around her figure to flames dancing within an ornate burner nearby. The intensity on her face reveals both reverence and determination as she seeks favor from this ancient deity. This evocative print invites us into a world where female cults held great influence over spiritual practices. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have sought connection with higher powers through rituals and offerings – bridging the gap between mortal existence and divine realms.
