EDITORS COMMENTS
Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, is depicted in this exquisite 1602 print by the renowned Dutch artist Jacob Matham. The image, now held in the esteemed collection of the Albertina Museum in Vienna, showcases Neptune in his regal pose, seated on a throne-like conch shell, surrounded by the vast expanse of the ocean. His trident, the symbol of his power, is held firmly in his right hand, while his left hand cradles the head of his son Triton, the god of the sea who is depicted as a merman. The intricate details of Neptune's flowing beard and robes, as well as the swirling waves and bubbles in the background, are expertly rendered in grey and brown ink on paper using pen and brush. This masterpiece of Baroque art is a testament to Matham's exceptional skill and his deep understanding of classical mythology. The allegorical representation of Neptune's power and dominion over the sea continues to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day.
