EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of Neptune, created around 1560 by the renowned artist Benvenuto Cellini. Standing at a modest size of 24.1x7.0x14.0 cm, this bronze masterpiece can be found in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The image captures every intricate detail of this mythical figure attributed to Cellini's genius craftsmanship. Neptune, the Roman god of the sea and water bodies, is depicted here in all his glory - a full-bodied male form with an aura of power and authority. The sculpture portrays Neptune standing on a platform adorned with sea horses, symbolizing his dominion over marine life. The artist has skillfully captured every muscle and sinew on Neptune's naked body, showcasing both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. This print allows us to appreciate not only the technical brilliance but also the artistic interpretation that Cellini brings to this piece. The play between light and shadow further enhances its visual impact. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to Renaissance Italy when artists like Cellini pushed boundaries through their mastery over metalwork and sculpting techniques. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for preserving this momentous artwork for posterity; it serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history.
