EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-158767-0000" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Rome. The focal point of this image is none other than the magnificent Fountain of Acqua Marica, brought to life by mesmerizing electric light effects. Taken around 1915, this photograph captures a moment when technology and artistry converged to create a truly magical spectacle. The fountain's cascading water seems almost ethereal as it shimmers under the influence of electric illumination, transforming an already beautiful landmark into something otherworldly. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Gustave Eugène Chauffourier, who skillfully captured the essence and grandeur of Rome's Piazza della Repubblica. However, it was Mario Rutelli who originally designed and crafted this masterpiece between 1888 and 1901. Steeped in Greco-Roman mythology, the Fountain of Acqua Marica features a nymph—a minor divinity from ancient tales—gracefully positioned at its center. Her presence adds an air of mystique to an already awe-inspiring scene. As we gaze upon this historic artwork through Alinari's lens, we are transported not only to early 20th-century Rome but also back through centuries of history and legend. This print serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout time. Let us marvel at how art can transcend generations, allowing us glimpses into worlds long past while reminding us that even in our modern age, beauty can still be found in both natural wonders and man-made creations alike.
