Original Description
The engraving Quos Ego, Neptune Calming the Storm, with borders showing further scenes from Virgil’s Aeneid, created circa 1515–16 by Marcantonio Raimondi after Raphael’s design, is a masterful example of Renaissance printmaking. The central scene depicts Neptune's commanding presence as he stills the tumultuous waves, a dramatic moment from Virgil's Aeneid. The intricate borders frame the composition with additional episodes from the epic, weaving a rich narrative tapestry. Raphael’s dynamic composition, translated into engraving by Raimondi, showcases the High Renaissance’s fascination with classical mythology, idealized forms, and balanced harmony. The piece exemplifies the collaborative genius of Raphael’s design and Raimondi’s technical precision, making it a landmark in Renaissance printmaking. Its historical significance lies in bridging Italian Renaissance art with the wider European audience through reproductions, cementing its status as a cornerstone of art historical study.
For decor, this engraving’s classical grandeur suits a refined study or executive office, ideally paired with dark wood furnishings and muted earthy tones to complement its intricate detailing. Its vertical format makes it perfect for focal placement above a desk or between bookshelves, enhancing an atmosphere of intellectual sophistication. In a home, consider hanging it alongside Renaissance-inspired tapestries or gilt-framed mirrors to unify the space’s aesthetic. Opt for warm, indirect lighting to highlight the delicate linework without glare. Choose a matte cream or taupe mat to harmonize with the aged paper tones, ensuring the artwork remains the star while blending seamlessly into traditional or neoclassical interiors. Its narrative depth lends itself well to spaces meant for contemplation, like libraries or formal sitting rooms.
