Neptune Bozzetto

This terracotta model by Alessandro Vittoria captures the dynamic essence of Neptune in an incomplete yet expressive state. The figure stands in contrapposto, with the muscular leg prominently shown, a raised arm poised as if grasping a trident, and a detailed foot resting firmly. The scattered arrangement of body parts against a muted background highlights the preliminary nature of this bozzetto, offering insight into the artist's process of studying form and composition before final execution.
