EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1599 depicts the powerful figure of Poseidon, also known as Neptune in Roman mythology, riding on a majestic seahorse. Created by Jost Amman, a renowned artist of his time, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of ancient Greco-Roman mythology. In Greek and Roman mythologies, Poseidon/Neptune was revered as the god of the sea and all its creatures. Here we see him mounted on a seahorse, symbolizing his dominion over the vast oceanic realm. The intricate details in this woodcut showcase Amman's skillful craftsmanship; every line and curve brings life to both Poseidon and his loyal steed. As Poseidon sits atop his aquatic mount with an air of authority, one can almost feel the power emanating from him. His muscular physique is accentuated by flowing robes that billow in the wind. With one hand firmly grasping a trident - his iconic weapon - he exudes strength and control. The combination of horseback riding and maritime elements makes this image truly unique. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined nature was with ancient civilizations' religious beliefs. This woodcut print not only showcases Jost Amman's artistic talent but also provides us with an intriguing glimpse into Greco-Roman mythology and its enduring influence on our culture today.
