This print captures the essence of the "Memorial to Admiral Sir Clowdisley Shovell" an exquisite masterpiece created by Sebastiano Ricci and Marco Ricci in 1725. The artwork, belonging to the Rococo era, stands as a testament to their artistic prowess and attention to detail. The memorial showcases an allegorical scene set against a backdrop of ruins and ornate architecture. At its center, we see Neptune, the god of sea and Poseidon's counterpart in Roman mythology. With his regal pose and hand gesture, he commands attention as he gestures towards an imposing obelisk adorned with symbols of heraldry. Surrounding Neptune are various symbolic elements that add depth and meaning to this composition. Two loyal dogs stand at his side, representing loyalty and protection. Leg irons symbolize punishment while chains signify captivity or bondage. The painting evokes both awe-inspiring beauty and somber reflection on mortality. It serves as a reminder of Admiral Shovell's heroic deeds during his naval career but also acknowledges the inevitability of death for all mortals.
