Painting Description
"Semifero Tritone Venus Dea Vecta Per Altum; Axe Trahit Roseo Cephalum Titone Relicto" is a notable work by Pietro Aquila, an Italian engraver and painter of the Baroque period. Born in Palermo in 1650 and active until his death in 1692, Aquila was known for his detailed and expressive engravings that often depicted mythological and historical subjects. This particular work, whose title translates to "Half-Wild Triton Carries the Goddess Venus Through the Deep; The Chariot Pulls the Rosy Head Abandoned by Tithonus," is a fine example of Aquila's intricate style and his ability to capture the dynamism of mythological narratives.
The engraving portrays the classical myth of Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, being transported across the sea by Triton, a messenger of the sea god Neptune. Triton, depicted as a merman with the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish, is shown in a vigorous state, emphasizing his semi-feral nature as he navigates the ocean's depths. Venus, classically associated with beauty and love, is rendered with grace and poise, reinforcing her divine status. The reference to Tithonus, a mortal lover of the dawn goddess Eos who was granted immortality but not eternal youth, adds a layer of complexity to the work, suggesting themes of abandonment and the passage of time.
Aquila's mastery of the engraving medium is evident in the fine details of the figures and the fluidity of the composition, which captures the movement of the sea and the ethereal quality of the mythological scene. "Semifero Tritone Venus Dea Vecta Per Altum; Axe Trahit Roseo Cephalum Titone Relicto" is a testament to Aquila's skill and his contribution to the Baroque art movement, offering viewers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of classical mythology through the lens of 17th-century artistic expression.
