cma-european-art: The Triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite, Frans Francken , 1630s, Cleveland Museum of Art: European Painting and SculptureNeptune—the Roman god of water—and his wife, Amphitrite, ride a chariot pulled by sea horses. Water fowl and flying fish glide in the sky above them, while in the distance a group of nymphs beckon from a grotto. Neptune’s trident represents his power over water and storms; the fish, shells, coral, and pearls carried by his subjects show his wealth.Size: Framed: 36.2 x 43.8 x 3.8 cm (14 ¼ x 17 ¼ x 1 ½ in.); Unframed: 23.5 x 30.9 cm (9 ¼ x 12 3/16 in.)Medium: oil on copper, mounted on woodhttps://clevelandart.org/art/1982.245 -- source link
