EDITORS COMMENTS
The Triumph of Neptune, a captivating 2nd-century mosaic print, showcases the mighty Roman god of the sea in all his glory. In this remarkable artwork from Sousse, Tunisia, Neptune (known as Poseidon in Greek mythology) is depicted riding triumphantly in a chariot pulled by horses with enchanting dolphin tails. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this ancient scene to life. Neptune stands tall, holding his iconic trident high in one hand while pointing forward with the other. His regal presence commands attention as he travels across the mosaic road. The horses' powerful strides create an aura of strength and determination as they effortlessly pull Neptune's majestic chariot. This awe-inspiring piece not only showcases artistic excellence but also reflects the religious significance placed on deities during Roman times. It serves as a testament to their belief system and reverence for gods like Neptune. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print, we are transported back to ancient Italy where such masterpieces adorned grand structures and celebrated divine beings. The mosaic's location within the Brado Museum adds another layer of historical context to its already profound beauty. With every glance at this magnificent artwork, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with mythological tales and our enduring appreciation for art that transcends time itself.
