EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Neptune Fountain in Via Medina, Naples" transports us back to the enchanting streets of 1885 Naples. The image showcases a masterpiece of Italian artistry from the early 17th century - the Neptune Fountain. Created by renowned artists Fontana Domenico, Bernini Pietro, Fanzago Cosimo, and Naccherino Michelangelo in 1601, this magnificent sculpture stands proudly in Piazza Giovanni Bovio. The focal point of the photograph is a majestic lion statue positioned at the base of the fountain. With its regal stance and fierce expression, it exudes strength and power. This animal representation serves as an allegory for Neptune himself – a symbol of masculinity and divinity in Greco-Roman mythology. Surrounded by fanciful sea creatures and mythical beings carved into stone with remarkable detail, Neptune emerges from his watery domain. His muscular form embodies both grace and authority as he holds his iconic trident high above his head. This abstract concept captures Poseidon's dominion over the seas while evoking a sense of awe-inspiring beauty. Achille Mauri skillfully captures this momentous artwork through his lens, immortalizing its grandeur for generations to come. The monochromatic tones add depth to every intricate detail etched into marble by these master sculptors centuries ago. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported not only to historic Naples but also into an ancient world where gods reigned supreme. It reminds us that even today, art has the power to transcend time and connect us with our rich cultural heritage.
