EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning plate adorned with the majestic figure of Neptune in his chariot. Created between 1730 and 1750, this tin-glazed earthenware masterpiece is attributed to the talented artist Ferdinando Maria Campani. With a diameter of 32.5 cm, it is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The plate depicts Neptune, the Roman god of the sea and water, riding triumphantly in his chariot pulled by two magnificent seahorses known as hippocampi. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this mythological scene to life, capturing Neptune's power and grace. Surrounded by a serene seascape backdrop, this neoclassical artwork exudes elegance and sophistication. The trident held firmly in Neptune's hand symbolizes his dominion over the oceans while the seashell represents his connection to marine life. Every brushstroke on this ceramic piece tells a story of ancient mythology and coastal beauty. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with gods and their role in shaping our understanding of nature. Through its portrayal of nudity, this plate also reflects classical ideals prevalent during that era. It celebrates both human form and divine presence within Western art history. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images captures not only an exquisite work of art but also invites us to delve into centuries-old tales where gods ruled over land and sea alike.
