Neptune was the Roman god of water and the sea in Roman mythology and religion. He is the counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. In the Greek-influenced tradition, Neptune was the brother of Jupiter and Pluto, each of them presiding over one of the three realms of Heaven, Earth and the Netherigions.

There seems to be confusion as to the title of this work.

The Archives created by Albert Field lists the title as Neptune with Poseiden in parenthasis.

Neptune had power over Sea Water and Fresh water both.

As both characters were worshipped by the Romans/Greeks, it makes

sense that Dali might have referenced both in the same work.

Our price for this work is far below what others are asking.

There are only a few of these on the market.

Call to check availability.
