EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite detail of a bronze sculpture depicting Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. Created in the second half of the 17th century by Michel Anguier, this masterpiece showcases his mastery in capturing both strength and grace. The bearded deity is depicted with a twisted torso, showcasing his muscular physique. The drapery skillfully cascades over his form, adding an element of movement to the static medium. The patina on the bronze adds depth and richness to this baroque-style artwork. Neptune's commanding presence is further emphasized by his regal pose and classical features. His piercing gaze exudes power and authority as he stands tall amidst crashing waves. This statuette beautifully encapsulates both divine majesty and earthly sensuality. As we admire this naked representation of Neptune, we are reminded of the timeless allure that nudity holds within art history. It serves not only as an aesthetic choice but also symbolizes vulnerability and truthfulness. This print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Anguier's sculpture – from its meticulously sculpted muscles to its carefully crafted facial expression. It transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at this magnificent work that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
