EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MYTHOLOGY: POSEIDON" takes us back to the ancient world of Greco-Roman mythology. The image showcases Poseidon, the mighty god of the sea, riding on a majestic dolphin as they gracefully glide into the enchanting harbor of Venice, Italy. The attention to detail in this woodcut from 1500 by Jacopo Barbari is truly remarkable. It offers a bird's-eye-view perspective of Venice, capturing its intricate network of canals and buildings with precision. Amidst this bustling cityscape, Poseidon stands out as a symbol of power and authority. The deity's presence evokes a sense of awe and reverence as he brandishes his trident high above him. With his flowing hair and regal demeanor, Poseidon embodies both strength and grace. The dolphin beneath him serves not only as transportation but also represents his close connection to marine life. Venice itself adds another layer of intrigue to this composition. Known for its maritime history and unique architecture built upon lagoons, it provides an ideal backdrop for such mythological imagery. This juxtaposition between ancient mythology and Renaissance-era Venice creates an intriguing blend that captivates viewers' imaginations. Overall, this print transports us to a time when gods walked among men and mythical creatures roamed freely in our collective consciousness. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with storytelling through art while showcasing the timeless allure of both mythological tales and historical landmarks like Venice's waterfront
