EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Neptune Fountain, created between 1560-75 by the renowned Italian artist Bartolomeo Ammannati. The fountain itself is located in the picturesque Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy. In this particular shot captured by John Ferro Sims, we are presented with an exquisite portrayal of Poseidon, the mighty god of the sea. With his muscular physique and commanding presence, he stands at the bottom of the fountain as a symbol of power and authority. His nudity emphasizes his divine nature and vulnerability. The attention to detail in this photograph is truly remarkable; every ripple on Poseidon's body and every strand of hair on his head can be observed with utmost clarity. As our gaze follows along his sculpted form, we notice that he shares this space with other mythical creatures such as mermen and tritons. Sims' skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only Ammannati's masterful sculpture but also captures a sense of timelessness within this ancient artwork. This image invites us to immerse ourselves in its beauty while contemplating themes such as strength, mythology, and human nakedness. As an out-of-copyright piece, it serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to evoking emotions and sparking our imagination.
