EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Fountain of the Moor" in all its grandeur. Created by renowned sculptors Gianlorenzo Bernini, Giacomo della Porta, and Giovanni Antonio Mari, this masterpiece is situated in the iconic Piazza Navona in Rome. The fountain itself is a true testament to the Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles that dominated Europe during the First and Second Millennium A. D. Its creation dates back to 1575-1576 and was later enhanced by Bernini's additions in 1654. The collaboration between these talented artists resulted in a harmonious blend of artistic vision. In this photograph captured around 1880-1890, we see the intricate details of Della Porta's original design combined with Bernini's masterful touch. The central figure depicts a male Moorish Triton emerging from turbulent waters, his muscular body exuding strength and power. This hybrid creature symbolizes divinity while evoking elements of Greco-Roman mythology. The composition also includes various objects such as horns, further emphasizing mythical references within this stunning artwork. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each sculptural element, enhancing their lifelike qualities. D'Alessandri Brothers' skilled photography perfectly captures every nuance of this extraordinary sculpture, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even through time's lens. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported back centuries ago when Rome was at its artistic zenith. This print serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's ability to create enduring works of art that transcend generations. It invites us to marvel at the skillful craftsmanship behind one of Rome's most treasured landmarks – an everlasting tribute to Italy's rich cultural heritage.
