EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Valerio Belli's masterpiece, "Neptune, Amphitrite and Cupid" a bronze relief carving from the 16th century. The artwork depicts three prominent figures from Greek mythology in an oval-shaped medallion. Neptune, the god of the sea and wielder of his iconic trident, stands tall alongside his wife Amphitrite, a beautiful sea nymph known for her grace and elegance. Hovering above them is Cupid, the mischievous deity of love and desire. Belli's attention to detail is evident in this stunning piece as he captures every nuance with precision. The light brown patina on the bronze adds depth and warmth to their forms while emphasizing their divine nature. Both male and female figures are depicted in all their nakedness, symbolizing purity and vulnerability within this religious context. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this heritage art transports viewers back to ancient times when gods ruled over land and sea. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural history intertwined with mythology. Valerio Belli's mastery shines through as he skillfully brings these mythological characters to life through sculpture. This print allows us to appreciate not only Belli's artistic prowess but also the enduring allure of classical mythology that continues to captivate audiences today
