EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-010034-0000" transports us back in time to the enchanting Neptune's Square in Bologna. The image beautifully captures the essence of this historic square, showcasing the magnificent fountain created by Giambologna and the grand Palazzo Comunale, also known as the County Hall. Taken between 1890 and 1910, this photograph allows us to witness a moment frozen in time. It reveals an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobblestone streets, while elegantly dressed men and women strolled along its pathways. The artistic talents of Laureti, Tommaso and Boulogne, Jean de are credited for capturing this mesmerizing scene from centuries ago. Their collaboration brings forth a visual masterpiece that showcases their skillful eye for composition and attention to detail. Intriguingly enough, this artwork dates back even further than the photograph itself. Created between 1563 and 1566, it immortalizes an iconic period in Bologna's history. The location depicted is none other than Piazza del Nettuno - home to Neptune's Fountain. As we delve into the various elements within this photo print, we encounter mythical creatures such as dolphins alongside cetaceans - reminding us of our deep connection with nature. A mermaid-like figure emerges from literature and fiction while putto children playfully adorn the scene. The presence of Poseidon or Neptune himself adds a touch of divinity rooted in Greco-Roman mythology. His trident symbolizes power over water - a fitting emblem for a city renowned for its canals. This remarkable piece serves not only as a window into Bologna's past but also as an homage to artistry throughout history. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today thanks to P. Z. - Photoglob & Co. 's dedication to preserving historical treasures like these through their prints.
