"Quos Ego, Neptune Calming the Storm, with borders showing further scenes from Virgil's 'Aeneid'" is a notable engraving by the Italian printmaker Marcantonio Raimondi, created around 1515-16. This work is a fine example of Raimondi's mastery in engraving and his contribution to the High Renaissance art movement. The central scene of the engraving depicts Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, quelling the winds and waves to calm a storm, a narrative derived from the first book of Virgil's epic poem, the 'Aeneid'. This moment captures Neptune's rebuke of the winds, with the Latin phrase "Quos Ego" ("Whom I..."), a line left famously unfinished in the poem, emphasizing the god's authority and power.

Surrounding the central image, Raimondi intricately incorporated additional scenes from the 'Aeneid', creating a rich tapestry of episodes that narrate the trials and tribulations of the Trojan hero Aeneas. These border scenes enhance the storytelling aspect of the engraving and showcase Raimondi's ability to weave multiple narratives into a single, cohesive work of art.

Marcantonio Raimondi (c. 1480 – c. 1534) was an influential figure in the development of the engraving technique. His works were known for their precision and clarity, which allowed for the reproduction and dissemination of the designs of prominent artists of his time, such as Raphael. Raimondi's engravings played a significant role in the spread of Renaissance artistic styles across Europe.

"Quos Ego, Neptune Calming the Storm" is not only a testament to Raimondi's technical skill but also reflects the cultural and artistic interests of the Renaissance period, where classical antiquity was a rich source of inspiration. This engraving remains an important piece within the history of printmaking and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its role in the cultural exchange of ideas during the Renaissance.
