EDITORS COMMENTS
PDC-F-001116-0000: A Glimpse into the Majestic Fontana di Trevi In this print captured by Brogi, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur of Rome's iconic Fontana di Trevi. Dating back to 1880-1900, this image showcases the central sculptural group that adorns the fountain, depicting a mesmerizing scene from Greco-Roman mythology. Standing proudly in the foreground is a magnificent sculpture representing the Ocean, a powerful male divinity. He is depicted riding on a shell drawn by majestic horses driven by tritons - hybrid figures with human upper bodies and fish-like lower bodies. The intricate details and craftsmanship of Salvi Nicola (1697-1751) and Giuseppe Pannini bring these mythical creatures to life. The Fontana di Trevi itself was created between 1732 and 1762, making it an extraordinary example of Baroque artistry. Located in Rome's enchanting Piazza di Trevi, this masterpiece has become one of Italy's most beloved landmarks. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are captivated by its timeless beauty. The ocean deity exudes strength and grace as he commands his ethereal chariot through cascading waters. The tritons' presence adds an element of mystique to the composition while paying homage to ancient mythology. Brogi skillfully captures every intricate detail and texture within this remarkable artwork. From the delicate features on each figure's face to their flowing garments frozen mid-motion, every aspect comes alive before our eyes. This print serves as both a testament to historical preservation and an invitation for us all to marvel at Rome's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that even centuries later, masterpieces like the Fontana di Trevi continue to inspire awe and wonderment among visitors from around the world.
