EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Neptune Fountain, an exquisite marble masterpiece created by Bartolomeo Ammannati between 1560 and 1575. Located in the enchanting Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy, this iconic sculpture captures the essence of Neptune, the mighty sea god. In this particular shot captured by John Ferro Sims, we are presented with a unique perspective of the fountain's rear view. The powerful male figure of Poseidon takes center stage, his muscular back and bottom beautifully sculpted out of marble. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every curve and contour is flawlessly depicted. Adjacent to Poseidon stands Triton, another mythical creature associated with water. Both figures are portrayed in their natural state - completely nude - symbolizing vulnerability and purity. Their nakedness adds an element of rawness to the composition while emphasizing their divine nature. This remarkable photograph not only celebrates Ammannati's artistic genius but also highlights Sims' own talent for capturing timeless beauty through his lens. As we admire this stunning image, let us appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such a magnificent work of art and Sims' ability to immortalize it for all to enjoy.
