EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-170478-0000" takes us back to the enchanting Emilia's District Exhibition of 1888 in Bologna. The image focuses on a mesmerizing detail of a fountain created by the talented artist Diego Sarti. Intricately designed, this masterpiece showcases an exquisite blend of mythical creatures and earthly beings. A majestic lion stands tall at the center, representing strength and power. Surrounding it are various terrestrial mammals, reminding us of the diverse fauna that inhabits our world. However, what truly captures our attention is a stunning mermaid-like figure gracefully emerging from the water. With her alluring presence and siren-like charm, she seems to have stepped out straight from literature and fiction into reality. The female form depicted here is both delicate and powerful—a celebration of femininity in its purest essence. Her nudity symbolizes vulnerability but also serves as a testament to human beauty in its most natural state. A shell rests beside her, perhaps hinting at her connection with the sea or serving as an offering for those who seek her guidance or protection. Photographed by Fotografia dell'Emilia under Alinari's expertise in 1888, this print not only immortalizes Sarti's remarkable artwork but also transports us back to a time when exhibitions like these were grand spectacles that captivated audiences with their artistic marvels. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but be reminded of the enduring allure of art throughout history—an eternal source of inspiration that transcends time itself.
