EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Francis Cleyn, we are transported into the mythical realm of Poseidon, the powerful Greek god of the sea. The print, skillfully created by Wencelaus Hollar, beautifully captures Poseidon's commanding presence and his connection to horses - a symbol often associated with his domain. Poseidon stands tall and regal amidst crashing waves, exuding an aura of strength and authority. His muscular physique is emphasized as he holds a trident in one hand, representing his control over the oceans. The artist has masterfully depicted every intricate detail of Poseidon's flowing beard and majestic crown, further enhancing his divine status. Surrounded by magnificent horses that seem to emerge from the depths of the sea itself, Poseidon showcases his affinity for these majestic creatures. As Virgil's scenes come alive through Cleyn's artistry, we can almost hear the thundering hooves echoing across vast ocean expanses. This enchanting print from Fine Art Finder invites us to delve into ancient mythology and ponder upon Poseidon's role as both creator and destroyer. It serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal fascination with gods who wield power over nature itself. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us be inspired by Poseidon’s might while also acknowledging our own responsibility in preserving our precious marine ecosystems – for they too are under Neptune’s watchful eye.
