EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the exquisite beauty of the Stanza de Venti (Room of the Winds) at the Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati. This stunning image showcases a water feature that takes center stage in this architectural masterpiece. Designed by Giacomo della Porta, an eminent Italian architect of the baroque era, this room is a true testament to his genius. Intricately carved sculptures adorn the walls, depicting mythical creatures and beasts from ancient mythology. Among them is Pegasus, the winged horse, symbolizing power and inspiration. The fountain itself is a marvel of engineering with its hydraulics system powered by forceful streams of water. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can almost hear the enchanting melodies being played by Apolline et le Mvse - mythological muses who are depicted playing musical instruments using hydraulic mechanisms. It's as if time has stood still within these walls since 1691 or even later. This image transports you back to a time when artistry and craftsmanship were celebrated in every detail. It reminds us of Italy's rich cultural heritage and serves as a reminder that even centuries-old masterpieces continue to captivate audiences today. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print allows visitors to experience firsthand the grandeur and splendor of one of Rome's most remarkable fountains. A true tourist attraction for those seeking to immerse themselves in history and appreciate timeless beauty captured through Giovanni Battista Falda's lens.
