EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of "Oceanus" a porcelain statue created by Konrad Linck at the Frankenthal Porcelain Factory in Germany around 1765. Standing at a height of 28.30 cm and measuring 20.65 cm in width, this neo-classical masterpiece now resides within the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. In Greek mythology, Oceanus was revered as the ruler of the sea before Poseidon took over his domain. This porcelain depiction perfectly captures his majestic presence and serves as an allegorical representation of his power and influence. The intricate details on this statuette highlight Linck's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The gift of A. & R. Ball has allowed art enthusiasts to admire this remarkable piece without any copyright restrictions hindering its appreciation. Its historical significance is further enhanced by its association with German culture during the eighteenth century. As you gaze upon this photograph, allow yourself to be transported back in time to an era where mythological gods were worshipped and celebrated through magnificent works of art like "Oceanus". Let your imagination wander as you contemplate the symbolism behind each carefully sculpted feature, marveling at how such delicate porcelain can evoke such strength and grandeur.
