EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning rectangular plate featuring the mythological figure of Neptune on his tank, holding a trident. Created in the 18th century in Castelli, Italy, this masterpiece is now housed at the Musee des Beaux Arts de Lille in France. The plate's large polychrome fire decoration adds vibrancy and depth to the scene, bringing Neptune to life with its rich colors. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship exemplify the talent of Italian artists during this period. Neptune, also known as Poseidon in Greek mythology, was revered as the god of water and sea. In this artwork, he is depicted riding on his tank-like transport vehicle accompanied by nymphs. His powerful presence is symbolized by his trident - a symbol often associated with him. The ceramic plate not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers insight into ancient Greco-Roman culture and mythology. It transports viewers back to a time when these mythological characters were worshipped and celebrated. Leonard de Selva's expert photography captures every nuance of this remarkable piece, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even from afar. This image reminds us of the enduring power that art holds in preserving history and telling stories through visual expression.
