EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite oil painting "Neptune and Amphitrite" by Abraham Jansz. van Diepenbeeck, a renowned Flemish artist from the 17th century. Measuring 69x96 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the National Museum of Stockholm, Sweden. The painting is attributed to van Diepenbeeck but was formerly believed to be created by Frans Francken the Younger. It beautifully illustrates a scene from Francesco Colonna's Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a Renaissance tale that takes readers on a dream-like journey through ancient times. In this particular moment captured on canvas, we witness lovers Polyphilus and Polia being transported to Cythera, the island of love. Amphitrite, the sea goddess, gracefully watches over them from her shell as Neptune accompanies her in this mythological procession. The allegorical nature of this artwork symbolizes courtly love and explores themes of romance and desire. Van Diepenbeeck masterfully depicts classical figures in their nakedness with meticulous attention to detail. This painting portrays not only mythological characters but also evokes emotions associated with loving relationships. As you gaze upon this extraordinary piece of art through Fine Art Finder's high-quality print reproduction, immerse yourself in its rich symbolism and appreciate how it captures both beauty and mythology within its brushstrokes.
