EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jacob Jordaens' masterpiece, "Neptune Creating the Horse". Painted with oil on canvas, this iconic artwork is housed in the prestigious Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy. The image showcases Neptune, also known as Poseidon, surrounded by a majestic scene that epitomizes his power and influence. With his trident held high and seated atop a magnificent chariot pulled by dolphins, Neptune strikes a commanding pose. The Nereids, sea nymphs who serve as his attendants, stand beside him in awe. In the midst of an intense contest between Athena (Minerva) and Neptune himself to create the most extraordinary creature for Athens (Athene), this moment freezes time. The painting beautifully depicts Tritons emerging from the depths of the sea while Amphitrite watches attentively from afar. Putti and cherubs add an ethereal touch to this divine composition. As Neptune raises his trident towards the heavens to summon forth life into existence, it is clear that he possesses unrivaled authority over both land and sea. Through vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes captured by photographer Nicolo Orsi Battaglini's lens, viewers are transported into a world where gods shape reality itself. This remarkable photograph not only pays homage to Jordaens' artistic genius but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and its timeless allure.
