EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a fierce clash between Neptune, the mighty god of the sea, and a formidable octopus. Sculpted by Della Bitta in 1878 for the Fountain of Neptune in Rome's enchanting Piazza Navona, this masterpiece brings mythology to life. With rippling muscles and determination etched on his face, Neptune wields his trident as he engages in an epic struggle against the tentacled creature from the depths. The intricate details showcase Della Bitta's skillful craftsmanship and capture every moment of this thrilling fight. As spectators gather around this monumental sculpture, they are awestruck by its grandeur and symbolism. It is not just a battle between two mythical beings; it represents humanity's eternal struggle against nature's forces. Amidst all the drama unfolds an unexpected twist – pigeons perching on Neptune's head! These feathered intruders add a touch of whimsy to an otherwise intense scene, reminding us that even gods have their moments of distraction. This artwork transports us back to ancient times while simultaneously celebrating Italy's rich artistic heritage. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to capturing our imagination and bringing stories from mythological realms into our contemporary age. So dive into this mesmerizing print and let your imagination swim alongside these legendary figures locked in combat - but beware those mischievous pigeons!
