EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plate 9: Argonauts Hicleus and Naucleus led in the float of Neptune" takes us back to the grand wedding celebration of Cosimo de Medici in Florence, Italy, in 1608. The image captures a moment from the magnificent pageant on the river Arno, where two male sea creatures blow their horns from beneath the water's surface. The scene is filled with baroque elegance as a galley ship adorned with mythical figures glides along the river. At its helm stands Neptune, god of the sea, holding his trident high. He leads a group of men rowing oars while Hicleus and Naucleus, two prominent Argonauts, are guided by his divine presence. The etching beautifully portrays both mythological elements and historical significance. It showcases Italian craftsmanship through intricate details such as seahorses decorating the mast and ornate carvings on the ship itself. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of artistry captured by Remigio Cantagallina after Giulio Parigi's original work, we are transported to a time when celebrations were extravagant displays of wealth and power. This print serves as a testament to Florence's rich cultural heritage and reminds us of its enduring legacy as an artistic hub throughout history. Displayed proudly within museums worldwide like The Met Museum, this photograph invites viewers to immerse themselves in centuries-old traditions while appreciating both mythology and human creativity intertwined into one breathtaking composition.
