Bucentaur Canal Doge Dolphin Greek Mythology Oarsmen Poseidon Procession Riding Rowing Spectator Venetian Venice
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century line engraving transports us to the enchanting city of Venice during a grand procession. The image showcases a magnificent scene as a procession glides down one of Venice's picturesque canals, led by the majestic bucentaur. Following closely behind is none other than Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, accompanied by men riding gracefully on dolphins. The artist's intricate detailing brings this mythological spectacle to life, capturing the essence of Venetian culture and its deep connection with both mythology and maritime traditions. Spectators line the canal banks, their eyes filled with awe and wonder at this extraordinary sight. Intriguingly, amidst all the splendor and divine presence stands the Doge himself, symbolizing his authority over both earthly matters and spiritual realms. His regal horse adds an additional touch of grandeur to an already mesmerizing display. The oarsmen skillfully maneuver their boats through the calm waters while people from all walks of life gather along balconies and bridges to catch a glimpse of this extraordinary event. It is truly a moment frozen in time that captures not only Venetian history but also our fascination with gods and legends. This remarkable print from The Granger Collection allows us to immerse ourselves in Venice's rich cultural tapestry while marveling at its artistic heritage.
