EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print showcases the breathtaking Fontana di Trevi, or Trevi Fountain, located in Rome, Italy. Commissioned by Pope Clement XII in the early 18th century, the fountain was designed by Nicola Salvi and completed in 1751. The central figure of the fountain is an impressive statue of a sea horse, or hippocamp, created by Pietro Bracci in 1762. The sea horse is depicted with its head turned back, gazing towards the ancient city, symbolizing the kingdom of the seas. The Baroque masterpiece, carved from travertine and marble, is a testament to the rich history and mythological heritage of Italy. The intricate details of the sea horse's body and the flowing water are a sight to behold, transporting viewers to a mythological age. The statue's powerful form and lifelike features are a testament to the skill and artistry of the sculptors of the time. The Fontana di Trevi is one of the most famous fountains in the world and a must-see attraction for visitors to Rome. Its enduring beauty and historical significance continue to captivate and inspire generations, making it a cherished symbol of Italian culture and heritage.
