EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giulio Carpioni's masterpiece, "Neptune Pursuing Coronis" painted between 1665 and 1670. The oil on canvas artwork measures 67x50 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. In this enchanting painting, we witness the mythological scene of Neptune, the god of the sea and ruler of all waters, relentlessly pursuing Coronis. As Neptune charges forward with determination, his regal figure is accentuated by a magnificent nautilus shell adorning his head. A graceful dolphin accompanies him through turbulent waves as they chase after their target. However, what makes this artwork truly intriguing is that Coronis has been transformed into a crow mid-flight to escape her pursuer's grasp. This metamorphosis adds an element of mystery and suspense to the narrative depicted on canvas. Carpioni's meticulous brushwork brings life to every detail within this composition - from the swirling currents beneath Neptune's feet to the delicate feathers of the crow caught in motion. The artist skillfully captures both movement and emotion in this dramatic portrayal. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, prepare to be transported into a world where gods roam freely among mortals and mythical creatures come alive before your eyes.
