The Triumph of Neptune

Charles Joseph Natoire

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man with a white beard, wearing a cloth wrapped around his waist, sitting on a chariot with a trident in his right hand and his left arm outstretched. He is accompanied by two men, one holding a wheel and standing in water alongside a fish, and another pushing the chariot from the right. Two white horses are rearing up on their hind legs in the water, with their heads turned towards each other. In the background, there are clouds with a cherub flying above, holding onto strings. The scene is set against a blue sky with white clouds. The title of the artwork is "The Triumph of Neptune" by Charles Joseph Natoire.
