EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the enchanting era of the Renaissance, capturing the exquisite beauty of The Fontana Cantoniera nestled within the lush garden of Villa Borghese. Located near the Museum in Rome, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to Europe's rich history and artistic heritage. Dating back to approximately 1900, this photograph showcases The Fontana Cantoniera in all its glory.

As we delve into every detail captured by Anderson's lens, our eyes are drawn to a whimsical grotesque mask adorning one side of this magnificent fountain. Its fanciful animal-like features evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue while paying homage to literature and fiction from centuries past. The presence of a dragon adds an element of fantasy to this already mesmerizing scene.
