EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the left portion of the "Battle Sea Gods" frieze, a masterpiece created by Italian artist Andrea Mantegna between 1485 and 1488. The engraving, measuring approximately 10 7/8 x 16 7/8 inches (276 x 429 cm), exhibits a slightly irregular shape that adds to its unique charm. The scene depicted in this artwork transports viewers into an epic battle of mythical sea gods. Mantegna's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully captures the intensity and drama of the clash between these powerful deities. From Poseidon wielding his trident to Neptune riding on his chariot pulled by sea horses, each figure exudes strength and authority. The composition is masterfully balanced with dynamic movement and intricate symbolism. The turbulent waves crashing against rocks create a sense of urgency, while various marine creatures add depth and intrigue to the narrative. Mantegna's use of light and shadow further enhances the dramatic atmosphere, making it feel almost tangible. Originally located in Isola di Carturo near Mantua, Italy, this remarkable piece now finds its place within Artokoloro's collection. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness Mantegna's artistic genius firsthand. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Italy's most celebrated Renaissance painters.
