EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Tibris" by the renowned 16th century Flemish engraver Philip Galle, showcases the ancient Greek deities Tibris, the God of the River Tiber, and Oceanus, the God of the Sea. The image is part of Galle's series "Sea and River Gods," and is a testament to the rich heritage of Greek mythology. The monochrome print, dating back to 1586, depicts the two deities in a serene and powerful pose. Tibris, represented as a bearded man with a flowing white beard and a crown adorned with reeds, is shown standing on the left side of the image, holding a staff with a dolphin on top. Oceanus, the God of the Sea, is depicted on the right, with a flowing beard, a trident in his hand, and a conch shell at his feet. The gods are surrounded by various marine creatures, adding to the symbolic representation of their dominion over the sea and rivers. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured water to the delicate lines of the deities' features, showcase Galle's exceptional skill as an engraver. The image, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a reminder of the enduring influence of Greek mythology and the beauty of the ancient world.
