About the piece
In this powerful Baroque composition, Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, rises from the waves to calm a violent storm. With a billowing crimson cloak and brandishing his trident, he commands the winds and waters while nymphs and rearing sea horses surround him. The work displays the dynamic energy and luminous flesh tones characteristic of the period, likely referencing Virgil's Aeneid where Neptune intervenes to protect the Trojan fleet.
