EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-141658-0000" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the timeless beauty of Piazza Navona in Rome. The image transports us back to the mid-19th century, between 1860 and 1865, when this bustling square was already steeped in history. In the foreground stands the magnificent Fontana del Moro, an exquisite masterpiece that captures our attention with its intricate details. Crafted by renowned artists Giacomo Della Porta and Gian Lorenzo Bernini during different periods - 1575-1576 and 1654 respectively - this fountain is a true testament to their genius. As we explore further into the photograph's composition, we are drawn towards a male figure depicted in all his nude glory. This enigmatic being embodies both human and triton qualities, evoking elements of Greco-Roman mythology. With his muscular physique and divine presence, he exudes power and grace. The inclusion of this hybrid creature adds an intriguing layer to the scene; it sparks our imagination as we contemplate its significance within Roman culture and mythology. A notable detail worth mentioning is a horn held by the figure – perhaps symbolizing abundance or fertility – which enhances our understanding of ancient beliefs intertwined with everyday life. While Alinari does not disclose information about the photographer behind this remarkable shot, their ability to capture such a stunning moment deserves recognition. Through their lens, they have immortalized Piazza Navona's allure for generations to come. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply captivated by Rome's rich heritage, this print serves as a window into history—a visual treasure that invites us to marvel at both human creativity and nature's wonders.
