EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Neptune and Amphitrite" by Jan Gossaert, created in 1516. The artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of the Staatliche Museen in Berlin. The painting depicts a mesmerizing scene from Roman mythology, where Neptune, the god of the sea, is accompanied by his wife Amphitrite. Both figures are portrayed with exquisite beauty and grace, capturing their divine essence. Neptune stands tall and regal, while Amphitrite exudes sensuality as she reclines beside him. Gossaert's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this oil on wood composition. The artist skillfully portrays various mythological beings surrounding the couple - nymphs, nereids, maenads - all adding depth and enchantment to the scene. The nudity depicted within this artwork adds an element of eroticism that was common during this period of art history. However, it also serves as a symbol of purity and vulnerability associated with these mythical beings. Through this allegorical representation, Gossaert transports viewers into a world steeped in classical mythology and literature. This early Netherlandish masterpiece remains timeless in its ability to captivate audiences with its intricate storytelling and impeccable craftsmanship.
