EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating niello print by the renowned Italian artist Peregrino da Cesena, dates back to the 15th or early 16th century. This exquisite monochrome artwork, showcased in various art galleries and museums including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., presents a striking depiction of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, in a triumphal procession. Neptune, depicted in his regal attire, rides a chariot adorned with tridents, the symbol of his power over the sea. He is flanked by various mythical creatures, including hippocampi, sea horses, and other marine beings. The goddesses Amphitrite and Salacia, his consorts, gracefully accompany him, adding an ethereal beauty to the scene. The print's intricate details and masterful use of niello, a technique that involves the application of a mixture of sulfur, copper, and silver to create black lines on a white background, bring the image to life. The contrast between the white and black elements highlights the dynamic poses and expressions of the figures, making this a truly mesmerizing work of art. This print is a testament to the rich heritage of Italian art and the enduring influence of Roman mythology. The depiction of Neptune and his court in triumphant procession represents the power and majesty of the sea and the deities that govern it. The print's timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences, making it a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or mythology.
