# Neptune and Amphitrite \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GOSSART, Jan]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on wood ## Commentary Gossart's colossal nudes are made more arresting by naturalistic details that enliven their idealised forms. These classical gods have bushy heads of golden hair, with every individual strand articulated and highlighted. In addition, Neptune has bits of curly facial hair resembling that of an adolescent boy. ## Related artworks - [A Grotesque with Two Sirens]() - [A Man Holding a Glove]() - [A Reliquary]() - [A Women's Bath]() - [Adam Accuses Eve before God]() - [Adam and Eve \(detail\)]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Agony in the Garden \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
