EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Piazza del Nettuno in Bologna, Italy. The focal point of the image is the magnificent fountain created by renowned sculptor Giambologna, which stands proudly in front of the impressive Town Hall. The composition showcases a harmonious blend of Mannerism, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that epitomize Europe's rich artistic heritage. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , this historical square has witnessed centuries of cultural evolution. The photograph itself was taken between 1920-1930, offering a glimpse into a bygone era while preserving the essence of its subject matter from 1563-1566. It serves as a testament to both Laureti's artistic vision and Boulogne's skillful craftsmanship. Intriguing elements within this artwork include dolphin motifs symbolizing cetaceans, mammals that evoke an air of gracefulness. The presence of mermaids and sirens adds an enchanting touch inspired by literature and fiction. Additionally, there is a charming putto figure depicted as a male nude child with Poseidon or Neptune-like attributes such as trident-wielding divinity. Notably, various objects like crests and emblems are incorporated throughout this masterpiece, adding depth to its Greco-Roman influence. These heraldic ornaments further enhance its European identity. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this scene through their lens, immortalizing it for generations to come without any commercial intent attached to it. This print invites viewers on a visual journey through time - an invitation to appreciate Bologna's architectural splendor intertwined with mythological symbolism in all its glory.
