Artist's Description
This is an original watercolor on Fabriano Artistico Soft Press paper. It measures 14.5" x 21.5".
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.
I have painted the lower part of this fountain - Neptune's Sea Horses - and 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.
