EDITORS COMMENTS
Amphitrite, Goddess of the Sea, as depicted in a captivating 16th century engraving by Flemish artist Philip Galle. This exquisite print, titled "Amphitrite" and part of the series "Nymphs," was created in the 1580s, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill and mastery of the medium. Amphitrite, a beautiful sea nymph and wife of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, is depicted here in a serene and regal pose. Seated atop a large, ornate seashell, she cradles a trident in one hand, symbolizing her power over the sea, while the other hand rests gently on her knee. Surrounded by intricate patterns and aquatic life, including fish, dolphins, and other sea creatures, Amphitrite embodies the beauty and mystery of the underwater world. This stunning work of art, with its intricate details and masterful use of contrast, is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Renaissance period. Originally from Flanders, Belgium, this print is now part of the impressive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing heritage art from around the world.
