EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Neptune Fountain, located in Piazza Maggiore, Bologna. Created by the renowned Italian sculptor Giambologna (Giovanni da Bologna) between 1563 and 1566, this masterpiece of artistry and mythology is a true testament to his talent. The photograph captures the fountain's intricate details with stunning clarity. The stone sculpture depicts Neptune, the Roman god of water and sea, standing tall amidst a group of mythological figures. At his side stands a lactating Nereid nymph, symbolizing fertility and abundance. Before restoration work was undertaken on this historic monument, it stood as an awe-inspiring sight for visitors to Piazza Maggiore. The play of light on the stone surface adds depth and dimension to Giambologna's expert craftsmanship. Italy's rich artistic heritage comes alive through this image. It serves as a reminder of Europe's cultural legacy and its enduring fascination with mythology. The statue itself is not just an artwork but also represents ancient beliefs that have shaped our understanding of gods and goddesses throughout history. This print by John Ferro Sims beautifully captures both the grandeur of the Neptune Fountain and its historical significance. It invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also reflect upon Italy's profound influence on art and culture worldwide.
