The Triumph of Neptune and Thetis,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving by Jacob Matham, dates back to the 17th century, showcasing the grandeur and power of the god of the sea, Neptune, and his beloved consort, Thetis. This exquisite work of art, created in Flanders, is a testament to the rich heritage of Netherlandish art and the enduring allure of mythology. Matham's masterful interpretation of Bartholomeus Spranger's original drawing brings to life the triumphant procession of Neptune and Thetis, surrounded by mythical creatures and sea gods. Neptune, depicted with his iconic trident, rides on the back of a majestic hippocamp, a sea horse, while Thetis, a sea nymph, gracefully follows behind. The god is flanked by his attendants, including Triton, the god of the sea, and a Nereid, a sea nymph. The engraving, executed on laid paper, is a monochrome masterpiece, with intricate lines and shading that add depth and texture to the image. The use of contrasting white and black tones creates an striking visual effect, emphasizing the power and majesty of the depicted deities. This magnificent work of art, now part of the National Gallery of Art's collection in Washington D.C., is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or mythology. The Triumph of Neptune and Thetis is a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich mythological traditions of the past.
