Description: | One of a set of four, this Flemish panel depicts a Triton embracing a nymph, whilst two putti, or winged babies, sleep nearby. In Greek mythology, Tritons were descendents of the sea god, Poseidon, and had fish tails instead of legs. This object is a miniature plaster of Paris copy of the original and was made during the 19th century. The original large ivory panel was made c.1625 and is now in the Louvre.
Plaster cast (Fictile Ivory) copy of 4 large panels. This shows two embracing figures with two winged babies nearby. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Fictile Ivories Mythology mythology stories & allegories Infants | Temporal: | Victorian (1837-1901) | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
