EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 35: Philip of Spain as Neptune, riding in a chariot drawn by two sea horses; a captivating fusion of art and mythology. This engraving, created in the 17th century by Pieter de Jode II, showcases the artistic brilliance of Flanders. In this masterpiece, King Philip IV of Spain is transformed into the powerful god of the sea, Neptune. Adorned with regal robes and a trident in hand, he commands attention as he rides through the waves on his magnificent chariot. Two majestic sea horses pull him forward while cherubs surround him with their angelic presence. The intricate details bring life to this aquatic scene - fish swim beneath Neptune's chariot while hippocampi frolic alongside. The artist's skillful use of shading creates depth and texture that captivates viewers. This print not only celebrates Philip IV's reign but also pays homage to Flemish heritage. It reflects the rich cultural history of Belgium and Ghent where de Jode hailed from. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork continues to inspire awe among those who appreciate both classical mythology and fine craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to Pieter de Jode II's talent for immortalizing historical figures through his engravings.
