EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Gray African marble Fountain, adorned with an obelisk of Ramsses II, standing proudly in the heart of Piazza della Rotonda in Rome. The image showcases a harmonious blend of Mannerism, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that have shaped Europe throughout the first and second millenniums. Dating back to around 1890, this timeless artwork transports us to a bygone era when Giacomo Della Porta, Sormani, and Leonardo were responsible for its creation in 1575. Their artistic prowess is evident in every intricate detail of this architectural masterpiece. The fountain's design exudes elegance and sophistication as water cascades gracefully from its basin into the surrounding hydraulic structure. The obelisk towering above adds a touch of majesty to the scene, paying homage to ancient Egyptian culture while seamlessly integrating with Roman architecture. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Anderson from Alinari, we are reminded of Rome's rich history and its enduring influence on art and civilization. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity across centuries. Beyond being mere furniture for civic spaces or exterior decoration elements, this fountain stands as an emblematic symbol representing the fusion between different artistic movements throughout European history. Its presence continues to inspire awe among locals and tourists alike who gather at Piazza della Rotonda to marvel at its beauty. Let us cherish this photographic print not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for preserving a moment frozen in time—a tribute to the genius minds behind it—forever etched within our collective memory.
