Unchanged by any teller — how the centuries since have seen Amphitrite.
The gallery
Neptune and Amphitrite
Jan Gossaert, 1516

Amphitrite
Antoine Coysevox, c. 1695–1700
Coysevox's marble Amphitrite in the Louvre rides a dolphin-borne wave — Poseidon's queen as French Baroque allegory of the sea's calm power.
Amphitrite
Modern public sculpture, Agde, —
A bronze Amphitrite on the Place de la Marine in Agde, France — Poseidon's queen as the Mediterranean's local sea goddess, facing the harbour.
