EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by the renowned artist Philip Galle in 1586, depicts the ancient Greek deity Rhenus, the god of the Rhine River. Part of Galle's "Sea and River Gods" series, this print showcases Rhenus in his regal splendor, seated atop a large wave, with one hand holding a cornucopia, symbolizing the abundant resources of the river, and the other extended in a blessing gesture. The god's flowing hair and beard, as well as his muscular form, are intricately detailed, emphasizing his powerful and majestic presence. Rhenus is often depicted with the horn of a goat, which is not visible in this print, but his identity is still unmistakable. This monochrome masterpiece, with its striking contrasts of light and shadow, transports us back to ancient Greece, inviting us to contemplate the rich mythology and heritage it represents. This print is now part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors.
