EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a mythical horned Lion Atlantes at the base of a fountain. The image takes us back to Quinta da Regalia in Sintra, Portugal around 1915, where this stunning stone sculpture was created by the Portuguese School in the 18th century. The intricate details of this carved masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The lion's body is adorned with ornate symbols and decorative elements that add an air of mystique to its presence. Its majestic horns and goat-like features give it a hybrid form that exudes power and grace. As we gaze upon this architectural detail, we can almost hear the soothing sound of water flowing from the fountain above, cascading down onto this magnificent creature. It stands as both a sculptural support for the structure and a symbol of strength and protection. The use of seashell motifs adds another layer of symbolism to this artwork, perhaps representing fertility or rebirth. This mythical horned Lion Atlantes serves as an enchanting reminder of ancient pagan mythologies intertwined with Portuguese artistry. Quinta da Regaleira itself is known for its rich history and breathtaking architecture, making it an ideal backdrop for such extraordinary sculptures like this one. Thanks to Prismatic Pictures' lens capturing every intricate detail, we can now appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship preserved within this photograph for generations to come.
