Here is the painting I had shared:
 |
| "Neptune"- from Neptune's Fountain in Florence, Italy |
About a year and a half ago, I painted the lower part of that fountain, my " Neptune's Sea Horses" and wanted to paint the top of that fountain, Neptune's head.I fell in love with the details of this white marble face. I decided to add warm colors on the left hand side of the painting and cool colors on the right hand side. The photo was taken inside with a flash ( still too cold in Ottawa to take photos outside,I feel), so the colors are not entirely accurate.
It represents the
head of a huge marble statue by Bartolomeo Ammannati (1563–1565) which
was commissioned on the occasion of the wedding of Francesco I de'
Medici with Johanna of Austria in 1565. The Neptune figure, whose face
resembles that of Cosimo I de' Medici, was meant to be an allusion to
the dominion of the Florentines over the sea. It stands in the middle of
a beautiful fountain.(Wikipedia)
