About this work

Neptune stirs up a storm. He urges his horses on by stabbing them with his trident. In the upper right, a wind god blows the wind. From the sky, Jupiter with lightning bolts and Minerva with a helmet on her head descend. On the left, Odysseus watches in terror. The ships are struggling. The print is part of an album.
