EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mythical atlantes at the base of an Obelisk in Lamego, Portugal. Created in 1738 by the Portuguese School of art during the 18th century, this masterpiece is located at Santuário de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. The obelisk stands tall at a height of 22 meters and features an exquisite fountain designed by Nicolau Nasoni. The intricate carvings on the granite structure depict various symbols from Portuguese mythology, including dolphins and fish. These ornate sculptures take the form of spouting men, adding a touch of elegance to the overall composition. The detailed craftsmanship highlights classical architectural elements such as telamones and atlantes, which serve as sculptural supports for this magnificent piece. The presence of these mythical figures not only adds aesthetic appeal but also carries symbolic significance. They represent strength and support, embodying both human and animal forms within their design. This fusion between pagan symbolism and rococo style creates a unique blend that characterizes Portuguese architecture. As you gaze upon this photo print, allow yourself to be transported into a world where art meets nature. Marvel at the meticulous details carved into stone and appreciate how each element contributes to the overall beauty of this architectural wonder.
