EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Oceanus" by Philip Galle, dates back to the 1580s and is a stunning representation of the mythological figure of the same name from Greek mythology. Oceanus, the ancient god of the ocean, is depicted here in all his majesty, seated on a large conch shell, which is supported by two tritons, or sea gods, as they gracefully hold up the god's flowing robes. The intricate details of the engraving showcase the skillful artistry of Galle, a renowned Flemish engraver of the Renaissance period. The image is part of a series of prints called "Sea and River Gods," and it showcases the rich diversity of aquatic life during this era. The god himself is surrounded by various fish and other marine creatures, adding to the overall sense of wonder and awe. The use of contrasting black and white tones adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true masterpiece of the 16th century. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Flemish art and the influence it had on European culture during the Renaissance. Today, it is part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
