EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and surreal image of Baron Munchausen's Splendid Fountain Sculpture, created in the 1930s. The sculpture, inspired by the fictional tales of Baron Munchausen as penned by the German author Rudolf Erich Raspe, depicts the legendary character astride his horse, with the scene interrupted by an unexpected and intriguing division. Baron Munchausen, a popular figure in European folklore, was known for his extraordinary adventures and tall tales. Raspe's collection of these tales, published in the late 18th century, captured the imagination of readers for generations. In one of Raspe's stories, Baron Munchausen's horse is said to have been cut in two, an element that has been beautifully brought to life in this sculpture. The intricately carved urn, nestled at the base of the fountain, adds to the overall allure and mystery of the scene. The splendid details of the sculpture, from the flowing mane of the horse to the intricate folds of Baron Munchausen's cloak, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the artist. This photograph, with its unique and surreal composition, invites the viewer to ponder the stories and tales that inspired its creation. The image serves as a reminder of the power of imagination and the enduring appeal of the fantastical tales of Baron Munchausen.
