EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-172449-0000" transports us to the enchanting Piazza del Nettuno in Bologna during the late 19th century. The focal point of this mesmerizing image is none other than the majestic Fountain of Neptune, a masterpiece crafted by Giambologna, also known as Jean Boulogne. The bronze sculpture stands tall and proud against the backdrop of an era long gone. Its intricate details come to life through the lens of photographer Tommaso Laureti, capturing every nuance with remarkable precision. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are reminded of its creation between 1563 and 1566. The fountain's centerpiece features Neptune himself, surrounded by dolphins gracefully leaping out from beneath his feet. These cetaceans symbolize both power and freedom while adding a touch of movement to an otherwise static scene. A mermaid-like figure emerges from behind Neptune, evoking elements of literature and fiction that have fascinated generations. A cherubic putto perches on one side, showcasing innocence amidst divine grandeur. Meanwhile, Poseidon's trident serves as a reminder of Greco-Roman mythology intertwined with Renaissance artistry. Bathed in natural light, this photograph captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance embedded within each element present at Piazza del Nettuno. It invites us to reflect on our connection to ancient civilizations and their enduring influence on contemporary society. "FVQ-F-172449-0000" allows us to appreciate how art transcends time; it immortalizes moments frozen forever within its frame. This particular print by Fotografia dell'Emilia speaks volumes about our shared human history while celebrating Bologna's cultural heritage for all who encounter it today or in years yet to come
