EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite" transports us to a mythical realm where gods and goddesses reign supreme. Created by Louis de Boullongne the Younger in 1706-07, this neoclassical masterpiece showcases the artist's exceptional talent with black chalk heightened by white chalk on grey-brown paper. The scene unfolds against a breathtaking seascape backdrop, as Neptune, the god of the sea, triumphantly rides his chariot pulled by majestic hippocampi - half-horse, half-fish creatures. Accompanying him is Amphitrite, his wife and goddess of the sea. They are surrounded by nymphs gracefully frolicking along the coastline. Every detail in this drawing exudes classical elegance; from the intricate depiction of seahorses to the ethereal presence of putti hovering above. The artist skillfully captures both power and serenity within this mythological narrative. As we gaze upon this artwork from The Art Institute of Chicago's Leonora Hall Gurley Memorial Collection, we are transported into a world where gods rule over land and sea. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with mythology throughout history. This print is not just an exquisite piece for art enthusiasts but also an invitation to explore ancient tales that continue to captivate our imagination today.
