專家說明

This plate depicts the myth, as described in Ovid's Metamorphoses, of the rivergod Alpheus who fell in love with a young nymph Arethusa as she bathed in his waters. As he pursued her she appealed to help from the goddess Diana who shrouded her in a cloud and then turned her into a stream to allow her to escape.

For an Urbino salt cellar painted with the same subject and incorporating similar compositional elements, see Johanna Lessmann, Italienische Majolika, Katalog der Sammlung, Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum, Braunschweig, Brunswick, 1979, p. 267, no. 314, and also the plate sold in these Rooms on 27-28 November 2012, lot 21.
