"The Majestic Power of the God of Sea: Exploring Mythological Artworks from Venice to Olympus" Dive into a world where myth and art intertwine as we explore captivating artworks depicting the god of sea. From the enchanting "Untitled (II 58)" by an unknown creator, showcasing the Giants Staircase at Doges Palace in Venice, to Giovanni Battista Scultori's dramatic portrayal of "The Trojans repulsing the Greeks, " these masterpieces transport us to ancient times. Witness Neptune's divine presence in various forms, such as in Francesco Antonio Berka's ornate gondola entering Venice or Giulio Bonasone's depiction of Neptune and Melanthe entwined in love. Marvel at Mathaus Küsel's intricate etching featuring Neptune riding his chariot drawn by seahorses while making shackles with Vulcan, Athena, and other gods to pull Jupiter from the heavens. Intriguingly, Jacob Neeffs, Johannes Meursius, and Willem van der Beke collaborated on a plate presenting King Ferdinand as Neptune seated atop a whale. Meanwhile, Philip of Spain takes on this mythical role in another artwork by an unknown creator. These portrayals highlight how powerful rulers sought association with this deity. Venturing beyond earthly realms, John Carwitham presents a heavenly scene where Olympus' gods surround a chessboard—a celestial game unfolding before our eyes. Moreover, Jacob Bonneau captures peace personified through statues supported by both Mars and Neptune—an allegory for harmony between war and water. Etienne Delaune transports us to Egypt with his depiction of The River Nile—wherein its life-giving waters are under Neptune's watchful eye. Through these diverse artworks spanning centuries and styles, we glimpse into humanity’s fascination with one of mythology’s most revered figures—the god who commands the seas.
