EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fish carving at the base of an Obelisk in Lamego, Portugal. Created by the Portuguese School in the 18th century, this intricate granite sculpture is located at Santuário de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. Standing tall at 22 meters, the obelisk features a fountain designed by Nicolau Nasoni. The fish carving itself is adorned with ornate details and belongs to the realm of Portuguese mythology. It depicts a dolphin-like creature spouting water from its mouth, symbolizing life and fertility. This baroque masterpiece incorporates elements of classical architecture, with telamones (also known as atlantes) serving as sculptural supports for this magnificent structure. The symbolism behind this fish sculpture reflects pagan influences intertwined with Christian beliefs prevalent during that era. The rococo-style decoration adds an extra layer of beauty to this architectural marvel. Capturing both artistry and nature's wonders, this photograph highlights not only the skillful craftsmanship but also celebrates wildlife through its portrayal of animals in their natural habitat. With its rich history and stunning aesthetics, it serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion to artistic expression. This image from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the decorative form and mythological significance embodied within this extraordinary piece of Portuguese cultural heritage.
