Capitoline Classical Sculpture Poseidon Reclining Roman Statue Shell
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. Created in 1653 by Francois Perrier, this etching showcases a stunning statue located on the Capitol in Rome. The male figure is depicted reclining with a majestic beard and exudes an air of power and authority. The classical sculpture beautifully portrays Neptune's divine presence as he holds a shell, symbolizing his dominion over the oceans. This timeless artwork from Perrier's book, "Segmenta Nobilium Signorum et Statuarum" illustrates some of Rome's most significant classical statues. The photograph, taken from a private collection, highlights every intricate detail of this remarkable piece. Its monochromatic presentation adds to its allure and emphasizes the statue's grandeur. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome when gods were worshipped and revered. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for understanding nature's forces. This extraordinary depiction of Neptune invites us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously. It stands as a testament to Perrier's talent as an artist while also honoring the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
