EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print of Neptune, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, transports us to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. The image showcases Neptune, the god of the sea and a prominent figure in ancient stories and beliefs. With his majestic beard flowing and spear held firmly in hand, he exudes power and authority. The intricate details on this print beautifully depict Neptune's representation as a mythological deity. His presence amidst rocky surroundings symbolizes his connection to both land and sea, emphasizing his dominion over all realms. As one of the most popular gods in Greece, Neptune played a significant role not only in navigation but also in pagan religious practices. The artistic style employed here captures the essence of polytheism prevalent during that era. This chromolitho serves as a visual reminder of how religion shaped ancient societies and their belief systems. Displayed within private collections for years, this rare find from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into classical mythology while appreciating its historical significance. It is a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with gods and goddesses who once ruled our collective imagination.
