EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-088746-0000" transports us back in time to the enchanting Piazza Barberini in Rome. The focal point of this mesmerizing image is none other than "The Fountain of Triton" by the renowned Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Created between 1642 and 1643, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Bernini's exceptional talent and artistic vision. As we delve into the details captured by J. A. 's stereoscopic photograph from the late 19th century, our eyes are drawn to the majestic figure of Triton himself. With his muscular torso and fish-like tail, he embodies both strength and grace. This hybrid creature, derived from Greco-Roman mythology, exudes an aura of divinity that captivates all who lay eyes upon him. Triton's powerful arms hold a large shell above his head, which serves as a symbol of water and its life-giving properties. Water cascades gracefully from this shell into the fountain below, creating a harmonious symphony that resonates with visitors even today. Surrounded by fish and other aquatic creatures swimming at his feet, Triton appears to be in perfect harmony with nature—an embodiment of man's connection to both land and sea. Through Bernini's expert craftsmanship, these animals come alive within their stone confines. This stunning artwork not only showcases Bernini's mastery but also pays homage to classical mythology—a theme prevalent throughout much of Renaissance art. It reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with ancient tales that continue to shape our understanding of ourselves and our world. Now preserved through Alinari's meticulous reproduction process on this print dating back over a century ago (1880-1890), "FVQ-F-088746-0000" allows us to experience firsthand one of Rome's most iconic landmarks—The Fountain of Triton—and immerse ourselves in the timeless beauty of Bernini's artistic genius.
