"Neptunus en Amphitrite te midden van badende nimfen en meermannen" is a 1784 etching by Franz Xaver Wagenschön, a German artist active in the 18th century. The artwork depicts the Roman god Neptune and his wife Amphitrite surrounded by nymphs and mermen. Wagenschön's etching is characterized by its detailed rendering of the human figures, with a focus on their anatomical features and the play of light and shadow. The composition is dynamic and complex, with the figures arranged in a seemingly chaotic but carefully orchestrated arrangement. This artwork is a prime example of Wagenschön's skill in depicting mythological scenes with a sense of realism and drama, making it a valuable piece for art historians and enthusiasts of classical mythology.
