1696 1770 Circular Temple Commands Front Giovanni Battista Tiepolo Illustrates Madrid Neptune Portico Shipwreck Sketch Venice Virgil Winds Arm Raised
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's masterpiece, "Neptune Winds". Painted on a round canvas surface with oil, this artwork measures 24 1/2 x 24 1/2 inches (622 x 622 cm). Tiepolo, an Italian artist hailing from Venice (1696-1770), created this stunning piece during his time in Madrid. The sketch beautifully illustrates a celebrated passage from Virgil's Aeneid. It depicts Neptune, the god of the sea, using his divine powers to calm the raging winds and save Aeneas from a treacherous shipwreck. In the painting, Neptune is portrayed with one arm raised as he commands the winds to desist. Standing before him is Jupiter himself, positioned in front of a portico within a circular temple. This composition adds depth and grandeur to the scene while emphasizing its mythological significance. The attention to detail and mastery of technique are evident in every brushstroke of Tiepolo's work. The use of oil paints brings out vibrant colors and textures that enhance both realism and drama. This print captures not only Tiepolo's artistic genius but also invites viewers into an ancient world filled with mythical tales and powerful gods. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history and reminds us of our enduring fascination with mythology and storytelling.
