EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Raphael's masterpiece, "Quos Ego, Neptune Calming the Storm" with intricate borders depicting further scenes from Virgil's Aeneid. Engraved by the talented Marcantonio Raimondi in 1515-16, this artwork measures 42x32 cm and is currently held in a private collection owned by Elizabeth Harvey-Lee. At the center of this composition stands Neptune, the powerful god of the sea, wielding his trident as he calms a raging storm. His commanding presence exudes both strength and tranquility simultaneously. Surrounding him are meticulously crafted border scenes that transport viewers into various episodes from Virgil's epic poem. The detailed imagery within these borders includes a ship battling against treacherous waves, a sinking boat symbolizing imminent danger, and even a majestic chariot representing divine intervention. The tempestuous atmosphere depicted perfectly captures the intensity of Virgil's narrative. Furthermore, one can observe elements such as zodiac symbols subtly incorporated into these intricately designed borders. These additional details serve to enhance our understanding of Virgil's influence on Renaissance art and literature. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this remarkable print for Fine Art Finder without infringing upon any commercial use restrictions. It serves as an exquisite testament to Raphael's artistic genius while paying homage to Virgil's timeless storytelling prowess through visual representation.
