This print, titled "Neptune and Melanthe" transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Giulio Bonasone in the 16th century, this exquisite engraving depicts a scene from "The Loves of the Gods". In this mesmerizing artwork, we find ourselves in a bedchamber where Neptune, the god of the sea, seduces Melanthe, a beautiful mortal woman. The room exudes an air of mystery and allure as it becomes witness to their forbidden love affair. Bonasone's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The mythical creature that accompanies Neptune adds an element of intrigue to the composition while emphasizing his divine nature.

Neptune's confident pose reflects his authority as he uses his godly charm to captivate Melanthe with seductive intent.

It serves as a reminder that even deities can succumb to temptation when faced with irresistible beauty. Giulio Bonasone's masterful portrayal captures not only the essence of Greek mythology but also showcases the artistic brilliance of Renaissance Italy.
