About the piece
This 1684 collaboration between Luca Giordano and Giuseppe Recco exemplifies the grandeur of the Neapolitan Baroque. Giordano’s dynamic mythological figures—Neptune, tritons, and nereids—frame a virtuoso still-life of fish, lobsters, and shells rendered with remarkable detail by Recco, creating a powerful statement piece of Old World elegance.
