EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Fountain of Neptune" we are transported back to the enchanting city of Bologna in the late 19th century. The image showcases a magnificent bronze sculpture created by Giambologna, also known as Jean Boulogne, during the years 1563-1566. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the awe-inspiring Fountain of Neptune itself. Standing proudly in Piazza del Nettuno, it exudes an air of grandeur and power. The statue depicts Neptune, or Poseidon in Greek mythology, surrounded by a mesmerizing ensemble of dolphins and other cetaceans. As our eyes wander across the frame, we notice additional elements that add depth and intrigue to the scene. A mermaid-like figure emerges from beneath Neptune's trident while putti frolic around him. These mythical creatures bring an element of fantasy to this otherwise realistic portrayal. The artist behind this remarkable photograph is Roberto Peli from Alinari. His keen eye for detail captures every nuance and texture present in Giambologna's masterpiece with precision and finesse. This image serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and historical significance. It transports us back to a time when mythological figures like Neptune held great importance in Greco-Roman culture. It reminds us that art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling, allowing us to delve into worlds beyond our own reality. Whether you are drawn to its majestic beauty or intrigued by its rich symbolism, this print invites you on an immersive journey through time and imagination – where gods reign supreme and legends come alive before your very eyes.
