EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "POSEIDON / NEPTUNE" takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in the mythical world of Greco-Roman mythology. The image showcases Poseidon, the powerful god of the sea and earthquakes, as he gracefully rides on a dolphin into the enchanting harbor of Venice, Italy. The attention to detail in this woodcut from 1500 by Jacopo Barbaris Bird's-Eye-View of Venice is truly remarkable. Every stroke captures the essence of Poseidon's divine presence and his connection with the marine realm. With his trident held high, symbolizing his authority over water bodies, Poseidon exudes both strength and elegance. As we gaze at this artwork, we are transported to a time when deities were believed to govern every aspect of life. The lagoon surrounding Venice serves as a perfect backdrop for this majestic scene - an ode to its maritime heritage and significance. This print not only celebrates ancient mythology but also pays homage to Renaissance artistry through its intricate woodcut technique. It reminds us that even in modern times, we can still appreciate and be inspired by classical tales that have shaped our cultural history. Whether you are an admirer of Greek mythology or simply captivated by Venetian charm, this print is sure to add a touch of mystique and wonderment to any space it graces.
