"A Mediterranean Harbour with a Statue of Neptune Being Sketched by an Artist, a Maltese Ship Moored Beyond" is a 17th-century painting by the Italian artist Agostino Tassi, known for his landscape and marine paintings. Tassi, born Agostino Buonamici (1578–1644), was a prominent figure in the Baroque period, and his works often depicted serene coastal scenes infused with classical and mythological elements. This particular painting showcases Tassi's skill in rendering atmospheric perspective and his ability to capture the interplay of light and shadow.

The painting presents a picturesque view of a Mediterranean harbor, where the calm sea meets a bustling port teeming with activity. Dominating the scene is a grand statue of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, which serves as a focal point and symbolizes the maritime culture of the Mediterranean. An artist, likely a self-representation of Tassi himself or a generic figure of a painter, is depicted in the act of sketching the statue, suggesting a meta-narrative about the act of artistic creation.

In the background, a Maltese ship with its distinctive rigging is moored, adding to the authenticity of the scene and reflecting the importance of Malta as a strategic naval base in the Mediterranean during the period. The presence of the Maltese ship also hints at the extensive trade networks and cultural exchanges that characterized the Mediterranean basin in the 17th century.

Tassi's work is characterized by its detailed architectural elements, the use of light to create depth, and the incorporation of daily life scenes that offer a glimpse into the era's social and cultural milieu. "A Mediterranean Harbour with a Statue of Neptune Being Sketched by an Artist, a Maltese Ship Moored Beyond" is a testament to Tassi's mastery of marine landscapes and his contribution to the Baroque movement. The painting not only captures the grandeur of the Mediterranean coast but also reflects the period's fascination with classical antiquity and the burgeoning field of artistry during the Baroque era.
