EDITORS COMMENTS
La Colere de Neptune," or "The Wrath of Neptune," is an exquisite 18th-century etching by the French artist Gabriel de Saint-Aubin. This masterpiece, created in 1767, showcases the powerful and wrathful aspect of Neptune, the god of the sea in Roman mythology. Neptune is depicted in a fury, with his iconic trident held high and a look of fierce determination on his face. Surrounding him are cherubs, or amorini, who seem to be trying to calm him down. Their attempts, however, are in vain as Neptune's anger is palpable. The etching is a stunning example of the intricate detail and skillful technique that characterized the art of the 18th century. The monochrome, black and white composition adds to the dramatic effect, emphasizing the contrast between the calm putti and the wrathful Neptune. The artist's ability to capture the emotion and movement in this image is truly remarkable. This etching is a testament to the rich heritage of art and the enduring influence of Roman mythology. It can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The image of Neptune's wrath serves as a reminder of the power and unpredictability of the sea, and the ongoing fascination humans have with the gods and goddesses of ancient mythology. Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, also known as Gabriel Jacques de Saint-Aubin, was a renowned French artist of the 18th century, whose works are held in high regard in the world of art. His etchings, like "La Colere de Neptune," continue to be celebrated for their beauty, intricacy, and historical significance.
