EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century pen and ink drawing by James Barry depicts the head of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. Neptune, also known as Poseidon in Greek mythology, was an essential deity in the ancient world, presiding over the seas, rivers, and water sources. The god is often depicted with a bearded face, wavy hair, and a trident, the three-pronged spear that symbolizes his power over the waters. This exquisite artwork by Barry, an Irish artist, showcases the neoclassical style popular during the 18th century. The intricate pen and brown ink with brush and gray wash and traces of graphite on ivory laid paper laid down on cream laid paper technique brings out the textures and details of Neptune's facial features, from the furrows on his forehead to the curls of his beard. The drawing's letterbox format adds to its decorative appeal, making it an excellent addition to any art collection or gallery. The image of Neptune's head was likely used as a decorative element in various contexts, such as coinage or as a standalone artwork. The concept of the god of the sea was an essential one in the 18th century, as finance and trade relied heavily on the sea for transportation and commerce. This drawing serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century, showcasing the artistic talent and the importance of religious and geographical features in the art of the time.
