EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of Bergamo's Piazza Dante and Fontana della Fiera di notte, capturing a moment frozen in time. The postcard transports us back to 1942, while the artwork itself dates back to the years between 1732 and 1740. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Giovan Battista Caniana (1671-1754), whose talent shines through in every intricate detail. Caniana skillfully combines elements from both the Renaissance and Baroque styles, resulting in a harmonious blend that epitomizes European art during these periods. As we delve into this image, we are immediately drawn to the majestic fountain at its center. This exquisite piece of urban furnishing stands as a testament to civic pride and grandeur. Its design features an array of mythical creatures such as tritons and hybrid figures inspired by Greco-Roman mythology. The fountain exudes an aura of elegance with its elaborate sculptures meticulously crafted in eighteenth-century style. It serves as a reminder of Europe's rich history spanning over two millennia – from ancient times until now. While the author remains unidentified, their choice to capture this particular scene speaks volumes about their appreciation for architectural marvels and historical significance. This print invites us to immerse ourselves in Bergamo's past, allowing our imaginations to wander through centuries-old streets filled with stories waiting to be discovered. It reminds us that even amidst modernity, traces of our ancestors' creativity continue to shape our present-day world.
