EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Neptune Spears a Sea Horse with his Trident" created by Maarten van Heemskerck between 1550 and 1560, we are transported to the mythical realm of the sea god Neptune. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings this ancient tale to life. The scene unfolds as Neptune, armed with his powerful trident, engages in an intense battle with a majestic sea horse. With precision and strength, he thrusts his weapon forward, piercing through the water and striking the creature. The sea horse writhes in pain, its delicate form contrasting against Neptune's imposing figure. Heemskerck's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition. The play of light on Neptune's muscular body highlights his divine power while casting eerie shadows beneath him. The swirling waters around them create a sense of movement and turmoil. This artwork is not only visually stunning but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with mythology throughout history. It invites us to contemplate our relationship with nature and our place within it. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece from the Liszt Collection, we can't help but be captivated by Heemskerck's skillful execution and ability to transport us into another world - one where gods roam freely among magnificent creatures beneath the waves.
