Neptunus als personificatie van Zeeland 1668 - 1695

"Neptunus als personificatie van Zeeland" is an anonymous engraving depicting the Roman god Neptune, personifying the Dutch province of Zeeland, riding a chariot drawn by seahorses. The engraving dates back to 1668-1695 and showcases a typical 17th-century Dutch allegorical representation of a province. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, uses visual symbolism to express the province's maritime power, likely created for a larger series on the Dutch provinces. The small format of the print (102 mm x 150 mm) would have made it accessible to a wide audience.
