EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Peter Paul Rubens, titled "Nereid and Triton". Painted in 1636 with oil on panel, this masterpiece measures 14.5x14 cm and is currently housed at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The painting was originally created as a design for the decoration of the Torre de la Parada hunting lodge, which belonged to King Philip IV of Spain. It depicts a mythological scene featuring Nereid, a sea goddess, and Triton, a powerful sea god. The composition beautifully captures their interaction as they stand amidst crashing waves. Rubens' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate horn held by Triton to the delicate shells adorning Nereid's body. Both figures are depicted nude, highlighting their divine nature and emphasizing their connection to water. This stunning piece invites viewers into an enchanting world where mythology comes alive through art. Its small size adds an intimate touch that allows one to appreciate Rubens' skillful technique up close. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by A© Gordon Roberton Photography Archive, we are transported back in time to witness Rubens' mastery unfold before our eyes.
