Haven met het standbeeld van Neptunus 1650 - 1695

Anthony van Zijlvelt's etching "Haven met het standbeeld van Neptunus" depicts a bustling harbor scene. The central focus is a statue of Neptune, god of the sea, holding a trident and sitting atop a pedestal. The statue stands on a pier, surrounded by boats and figures, all of which are rendered in a detailed and precise style. The etching, created between 1650 and 1695, provides a glimpse into the Dutch maritime trade and the reverence for classical mythology during the Golden Age of Dutch art.
