Dean Ellis (New York, 1920 - 2009) "Roman God Saturn" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 50c Saturn stamp issued July 20, 1994. The most striking thing about Saturn is its four thin rings, composed mostly of small independent particles that lie in the plane of the planet's equator and extend from 46,000 to 85,000 miles from its center. Saturn also has 10 satellites large enough to be observed. One of the satellites, Titan, is nearly the size of the planet Mercury and the only satellite in the solar system known to have any appreciable atmosphere, which consists primarily of methane. The most distant of the visible planets, Saturn was named for the Roman god of agriculture. The planet's sluggish movements probably reminded ancient skywatchers of the slow gait of plowing oxen or grazing cattle. This intriguing painting shows Saturn resting quietly with a wheat cutter in hand, as well as the astrological sign symbolizing patience and self-discipline. Image Size: 12.75 x 15.75 in. Overall Size: 15.75 x 19 in. Unframed. (B14644)
