EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Chariot of Neptune and Amphritrite" an illustration from the General study of Greek architecture and sculpture, published by Firmin-Didot in Paris in 1814. The artwork, created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, is a stunning representation of this mythological scene. In this enchanting image, we see Neptune, the god of the sea, standing proudly atop his magnificent chariot. With his trident held high and surrounded by dolphins leaping through waves, he exudes power and authority. Beside him stands Amphitrite, a beautiful mermaid-like goddess who symbolizes calmness and serenity. The attention to detail in this piece is truly remarkable. The gold and ivory embellishments on the chariot add a touch of opulence while emphasizing its divine nature. The horses pulling the chariot are strong and majestic creatures that perfectly complement their godly riders. This artwork transports us back to ancient Greece where myths were woven into everyday life. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage left behind by these fascinating tales. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we can almost hear the crashing waves and feel the salty breeze on our skin. The Chariot of Neptune and Amphritrite serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today as it did centuries ago when it graced the Temple of Neptune at Corinth in all its glory.
