Description: | In classical mythology, Amphitrite was the sea-nymph wife of Neptune, the god of the sea. She is shown being borne off to her husband in a cockle-shell chariot drawn by Hippocampi, or seahorses, and accompanied by a retinue of Nereids (sea-nymphs) and Tritons. The delicate pastel palette and elegant line are typical of Nicola Grassi, a Venetian painter whose role in the development of the Rococo style has only recently begun to be understood. | Subjects: | figure; mythology (Triumph of Amphitrite); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Grassi, Nicola (Italian painter, 1682-1748) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9179... | Go to resource |
