EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Fountain of a boy holding a dolphin" by Verrocchio, located in the center of the Courtyard of Michelozzo, within the magnificent Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The fountain depicts a young boy gracefully cradling a playful dolphin, capturing a moment frozen in time. Originally situated at this very spot since its creation during the 16th century Renaissance period, this masterpiece was later moved to the Terrazza di Giunone of the Palazzo Vecchio in 1959. Its relocation allowed for better preservation and appreciation of its intricate details and artistic beauty. The photograph itself dates back to around 1890 and is attributed to Alinari, Fratelli. It skillfully captures not only the grandeur of this architectural gem but also highlights various elements such as columns, building decorations, plasterwork, and sculptures that adorn both the fountain and its surroundings. The artwork itself is credited to Vasari Giorgio (1511-1574), Ferrucci Francesco del Tadda, Raffaello di Domenico di Polo. Their collaborative efforts have resulted in an exemplary representation of High Renaissance artistry blended with elements from Renaissance-Baroque styles. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported through time into an era where craftsmanship flourished under Europe's cultural renaissance. The fusion between architecture and sculpture creates an atmosphere that evokes awe-inspiring emotions while paying homage to centuries past. This print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history—a reminder that masterpieces like these continue to inspire generations long after their creation.
