EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable architectural element that is sure to transport you back in time. The subject of this image is a bronze gutter, but it is no ordinary gutter - it takes the form of an intricately designed dragon. This extraordinary piece can be found adorning the Palazzo Aldovrandi, later known as Palazzo Montanari, located in the enchanting city of Bologna. The dragon's fierce expression and detailed scales are truly awe-inspiring, reflecting the artistic mastery of Renaissance-Baroque styles prevalent during the eighteenth century. Its presence adds a touch of whimsy and fantasy to the otherwise classical architecture surrounding it. Dating back several centuries, this artwork stands as a testament to Europe's rich history and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the incredible craftsmanship that was valued during both medieval times and beyond. Captured by Alinari Fratelli sometime between 1920-1930, this photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail with stunning clarity. The contrast between light and shadow enhances our perception of depth and texture, making each scale on this mythical creature come alive. While we may associate dragons with literature or fiction today, their symbolism has always held great significance throughout various cultures around the world. In many tales, they represent power, wisdom, protection or even danger – leaving room for interpretation when admiring such an exquisite work like this one. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by fantastical creatures from folklore, this mesmerizing print invites you to explore history through its visual narrative. Let your imagination soar as you delve into Europe's past while marveling at this magnificent bronze dragon gracing Bologna's architectural landscape.
