EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-000682-0000" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the grandeur of the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Taken sometime between 1900 and 1920, it transports us back to an era when this iconic landmark stood as a testament to timeless beauty. The overall view presented in this image showcases the fountain's magnificent architecture against the backdrop of Rome's bustling Piazza di Trevi. Designed by Salvi Nicola (1697-1751) and later completed by Giuseppe Pannini, this masterpiece has been enchanting visitors since its completion between 1732 and 1762. Intriguingly, amidst the splendor of this scene emerges a figure that evokes both awe and curiosity. A male hybrid creature from Greco-Roman mythology stands prominently at the center – Triton, son of Poseidon. With his muscular physique merging human-like features with those of a fish or sea monster, he symbolizes power and divinity associated with water. As we gaze upon this mysterious being emerging from the depths of Roman lore, we are reminded of our fascination with ancient mythologies that continue to captivate our imagination even today. The juxtaposition of Triton against the architectural marvels surrounding him creates an intriguing contrast between man-made wonders and mythical creatures. While little is known about the unidentified author who captured this moment in time through their lens, their skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only Rome's historical treasures but also its rich tapestry woven with legends passed down through generations. This remarkable print serves as a reminder that art can transcend time itself – immortalizing both tangible structures like fountains while breathing life into mythical beings that have long held sway over our collective consciousness.
