EDITORS COMMENTS
Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, is depicted in this stunning color woodcut print created by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius around the year 1594. This allegorical image of Neptune, also known as Poseidon in Greek mythology, showcases the god's regal presence as he sits atop a large conch shell, holding his iconic trident in one hand and a dolphin in the other. The god is flanked by two mermaids, their long flowing hair cascading down the sides of the print, while a merman plays a lyre in the background. Goltzius, a master of the Mannerist style, expertly captures the grandeur and power of Neptune in this intricately detailed print. The use of vibrant colors and bold lines adds depth and dimension to the image, bringing the god and his underwater realm to life. The artist's skillful representation of Neptune's pose, with his muscular form and confident expression, exudes a sense of strength and authority. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of classical mythology and the artistic mastery of Hendrick Goltzius. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today. This particular print is part of a private collection and is an invaluable addition to any fine art collection or gallery dedicated to the study of mythology, allegory, and the graphic arts.
