Arnold Böcklin (after)
Triton and Nereid, 1898
Black and white xylograph applied on Japan paper, 43,5 x 53,5 cm
Triton and Nereid is an original print, realized in 1898.
Black and white xylograph on applied Japon paper. The series contains xylographs that represent some of the most famous paintings of Arnold Böcklin. Printed by J.J. Weber, Leipzig.
Original title of the artwork: Triton und Nereide. The title is printed on the lower right corner.
The print was realized by Johann Jacob Weber and it is part of the series Meisterwerke der Holzschneidekunst (original title: SECHZEHN HOLZSCHNITTE NACH GEMÄLDEN ARNOLD BÖCKLIN (MEISTERWERKE DER HOLZSCHNEIDEKUNST, NEUE FOLGE HEFT V) printed in 1898 and dedicated to Arnold Böcklin.
This beautiful black and white xylograph represents the two mythological figures of Triton and Nereid. The commissioner of this great and splendid painting was Count Schack of Munich. In this artwork, the mythological and "Mediterranean" themes are interpreted in a languid, sensual value. Both figures are on a rock in the middle of the sea: Nereid is lying in a sensual pose. Triton is sitting behind her.
Good conditions, except for yellowing of the paper (especially along the margins), and a stain on the higher right.
