Title:
The River God Po exhibition label Narrative 1
Narrative:

Of the twenty prints known by G.B. Scultori, some six are after designs by Giulio Romano. Others are clearly derived from or influenced by Giulio.

This print of the river god Po is a composition by Scultori himself, though it is clearly related to a drawing by Giulio of the same subject in the British Museum. Scultori has added a putto to hold the urn, and oars, right, symbolising the river's importance as a shipping corridor.
