EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Neptune and Caenis" by Hendrick Goltzius, we are transported back to the late 16th century. The image depicts a powerful scene from Greek mythology, where Neptune, the god of the sea, ravishes Caenis. The composition is filled with symbolism and emotion. Neptune is shown in all his glory as he emerges from the depths of the ocean, surrounded by fish and waves crashing against the shore. His gaze is intense as he reaches out to caress Caenis' arm and waist, overpowering her with his divine presence. Caenis stands before him as a symbol of purity and innocence. She grabs onto Neptune's arm in an attempt to resist his advances but ultimately succumbs to his power. Her torn expression reveals both fear and fascination at this forbidden encounter. Goltzius skillfully captures every detail through intricate lines that bring life to each element of the composition. The Latin inscription adds an air of mystery, inviting viewers to delve deeper into this mythological tale. Quint Lox's masterful reproduction of this historical artwork from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate Goltzius' genius even centuries later. This print serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient myths and their timeless relevance in art.
