[Painting • Academism] Stormcaller Poseidon Amphitheater

The sea god Poseidon summoning a storm to part the waves at the exact instant fate is sealed, set on the steps of a grand amphitheater filled with spectators, with a faithful hound and a fallen shield resting nearby; diagonal lines of spears and banners lead the eye to the central figure, charged with heroic resolve and quiet foreboding.
