EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and magnificence of "The Fountain of Neptune" in all its Renaissance glory. Created by renowned Italian sculptors Bartolomeo Ammannati and Giambologna, this masterpiece stands proudly in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy. The focal point of the fountain is none other than Neptune himself, the Roman god of the sea. With his majestic poseidon-like figure, adorned with a flowing beard and regal crown, he exudes power and authority. The intricate details carved into the marble and bronze showcase Ammannati's exceptional craftsmanship. Beside Neptune stands a magnificent nude horse crafted by Giambologna. Its muscular physique conveys strength and vitality, perfectly complementing Neptune's presence. The combination of these two masterpieces creates an awe-inspiring sight that transports viewers back to a time when art flourished during the Renaissance period. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded not only of human creativity but also our connection to nature. The inclusion of animals such as horses emphasizes their significance in both historical contexts as well as contemporary society. With its rich history and artistic brilliance captured through Ken Welsh's lens, this print serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's ability to create beauty that transcends time itself.
