EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a magnificent marble fountain in all its grandeur. The artwork, located in the bustling Piazza del Duomo in Pisa, is truly a sight to behold. Standing tall on its base are three adorable putti, their cherubic figures delicately carved out of stone. These mischievous little angels hold with pride the coat of arms of the town of Pisa, symbolizing their guardianship over this historic place. The photograph was taken around 1890 by Giuseppe Vacc, showcasing his keen eye for detail and composition. However, it is important to note that this masterpiece dates back even further - to 1764 when it was originally created. Its location at the heart of Pisa's iconic square adds an extra layer of significance to this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at the intricate craftsmanship displayed throughout every inch of the fountain. From each delicate curve on the putti's bodies to the grotesque masks adorning certain sections - every element tells a story steeped in European history. The fusion between Renaissance and Baroque styles evident in this artwork reflects both periods' influence during Italy's rich artistic heritage. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human expression across centuries. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this timeless beauty through their lens, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. This print invites us into a world where mythological creatures come alive amidst architectural splendor – reminding us that even today, these ancient works continue to inspire awe and wonderment among those fortunate enough to witness them firsthand.
