EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning ceiling caisson from the Sala di Amore e Psiche in Palazzo del Te, Mantua, Italy. Painted by Giulio Romano in 1528, this masterpiece titled "Neptune and a water nymph" transports viewers to a mythical realm of gods and enchanting creatures. In this scene, Neptune, the god of the sea, is depicted alongside a graceful water nymph. The artist's mastery is evident as he captures every intricate detail with oil on stucco. Neptune holds his iconic trident while gazing into the distance with an air of authority and wisdom. The water nymph exudes elegance as she stands beside him. The composition is enhanced by the presence of majestic horses that surround Neptune and the nymph. These magnificent animals add an element of power and strength to the overall painting. Their wild beauty contrasts beautifully with the serene expressions on both divine figures' faces. Romano's mannerist style shines through in this artwork, characterized by elongated proportions and exaggerated poses that create a sense of drama and movement. This particular piece adorns the ceiling caisson in what is known as the Room of Cupid and Psyche. Thanks to A© Raffaello Bencini's exceptional photography skills, we can now appreciate every brushstroke and color choice made by Romano centuries ago. This print serves as a testament to both artists' talents while allowing us to bring home a piece of art history for our own enjoyment.
