Luca Giordano's "The Riches of the Sea with Neptune, Tritons and Two Nereids" from 1684 is a dynamic and richly detailed Baroque artwork that showcases the abundance of the ocean. Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, is depicted holding his trident, surrounded by his entourage of sea creatures and sea deities. The painting's central focus is a monumental pile of seafood, including lobsters, fish, and shellfish, highlighting the bounty and diversity of the sea. This piece exemplifies the grand style characteristic of Giordano's work, displaying skillful use of light and shadow to create a dramatic and captivating scene.
