Original Description
Marcantonio Raimondi's engraving Quos Ego, Neptune Calming the Storm, with borders showing further scenes from Virgil's 'Aeneid' (c. 1515–16) is a masterful Renaissance print that exudes dramatic energy and mythological grandeur. The central scene depicts Neptune commanding the tempestuous seas, his muscular form radiating divine authority amidst swirling waves and terrified sailors—an episode from Virgil's Aeneid where the god intervenes to calm a storm threatening Aeneas’ fleet. Raimondi’s intricate detailing, from the figures’ dynamic poses to the delicate rendering of wind-swept drapery, showcases his skill in translating Raphael’s classical compositions into the printed medium. Flanked by border vignettes illustrating additional Aeneid narratives, the work exemplifies the Renaissance revival of antiquity and the collaborative synergy between sculptors, painters, and printmakers. As a pivotal figure in disseminating High Renaissance aesthetics through engravings, Raimondi’s piece remains a testament to the era’s intellectual and artistic ambitions.
For a sophisticated interior, this engraving would elevate a study, library, or office with its timeless narrative and refined linear artistry. Ideal against deep-toned walls (navy, olive, or charcoal), it harmonizes with walnut or gilt frames and pairs beautifully with leather-bound books, brass accents, or neoclassical furniture. Position it above a fireplace or as part of a salon-style arrangement with other Old Master prints to create cohesion. Choose a medium-to-large mat and frame (aim for a 24x30" display area) to balance its ornate borders. The monochromatic palette complements both traditional and minimalist settings—pair with natural textures like linen or wool to soften its formal gravitas. Its intellectual allure makes it especially fitting for creative or academic spaces seeking inspiration from classical heritage.
