About this piece

back to top

A large English silk screen framed print of a neoclassical scene of the Greek God Poseidon, also know as Neptune in Roman mythology.

Exceptionally presented in a guilt frame, this 20th century piece is an ode to the history of English art and the iconic tales of Greek mythology – it would make a beautiful addition to period and contemporary settings alike.

The distressed look to the guilt leaves the frame with a desirable time worn look that compliments the expertly crafted painting.

Poseidon

Poseidon, meaning ‘husband of the earth’, was the brother of chief god Zeus and of Hades, god of the underworld.

The kingdom of the sea fell to Poseidon when the three brothers overthrew their father.

His iconic symbol is that of a trident, usually held raised above him, thought to have been created by the three cyclopes.

Poseidon also had his role as god of earthquakes and was known as ‘earth-shaker’ and ‘stabiliser’ in Greek mythology.

Due to this connection to land, many of his oldest places of worship in Greece were inland, which were sometimes centred on pools and streams.
