EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Neptune Calming the Waves or Nettuno Comanda alle Acque di Ritirarsi, Book I" takes us on a journey through ancient mythology. Created by Luigi Ademollo in 1832, this hand-colored engraving is an illustration from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this scene, we witness Neptune, the mighty God of the sea and one of the most powerful deities after Jove. With his majestic chariot pulled by magnificent horses, he commands the unruly waves to retreat under his divine authority. The seashell-shaped chariot adds an enchanting touch to this classical depiction. As we delve into Greek mythology, we are reminded of the mermaids that often accompany Neptune. These mythical creatures with their alluring beauty and mesmerizing songs are known for their association with water and transformation. Ademollo's attention to detail brings this momentous event to life as he captures not only Neptune's commanding presence but also the intricate elements surrounding him. This engraving beautifully portrays both power and tranquility within its composition. This artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with gods and goddesses throughout history. It transports us back in time to a world where mythological beings held immense influence over natural forces like water. Displayed in The Stapleton Collection, this Italian masterpiece continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless portrayal of divinity and metamorphosis.
