EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of a gilded bronze statuette attributed to Alessandro Vittoria, displayed in all its glory at the Correr Museum in Venice. The statuette depicts Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, holding up a delicate shell with strength and grace. Crafted during the XVI century by Vittoria Alessandro, this masterpiece showcases his mastery of both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. It stands as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage from the first and second millenniums A. D. Neptune's powerful presence is emphasized through his muscular male form, elegantly portrayed in an allegorical pose. As he holds up the shell, it symbolizes his dominion over all things related to water - dolphins leap joyfully around him, representing cetaceans as well as other marine mammals. The artist skillfully combines elements of Greco-Roman mythology with abstract concepts and symbols. Neptune's divinity is palpable; one can almost feel his connection to the vastness of the ocean. This statuette serves as a reminder of mankind's fascination with ancient myths and legends that continue to inspire us today. The intricate details on this bronze sculpture are truly remarkable - every curve meticulously crafted by Vittoria Alessandro himself. Its placement within the Correr Museum allows visitors to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance within European art history. Captured sometime between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph immortalizes an artwork that has stood for centuries as a testament to human creativity and imagination. It invites viewers into a world where gods walk among mortals, reminding us of our shared cultural heritage across time and space.
