EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Neptune stilling the waves" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a remarkable piece of art by an English School artist. The image is part of a private collection and was created as an illustration for Alfred J Church's book, "Stories from Virgil" published in 1882. The artwork beautifully captures a moment from ancient mythology, depicting Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, using his divine power to calm the turbulent waves. This scene comes from Publius Vergilius Maro's epic poem, "Aeneid" which tells the story of Aeneas' journey after the fall of Troy. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this classical tale to life. As we gaze at this lithograph, we can almost feel the movement and agitation of the sea captured in blurred motion. The rippling waves seem frozen in time under Neptune's command. This artwork not only showcases artistic mastery but also highlights our fascination with ancient stories and their enduring impact on literature and culture. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these myths continue to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece for us to appreciate its beauty and delve into its rich historical context. Through this photo print, we are transported into a world where gods interacted with mortals and epic tales unfolded against maritime landscapes.
