EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite Pelican Fountain, located at the Santuario de Nossa Senhora dos Remedios in Lamego, Portugal. Created by the Portuguese School in the 18th century, this stone masterpiece showcases intricate carvings and ornate details that exemplify Baroque and Rococo styles. The significance of the pelican depicted in this fountain is deeply rooted in Christian symbolism. In medieval Europe, it was believed that a pelican would wound its own breast to provide blood for its young when no other food was available. This act of self-sacrifice came to represent Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and his offering of himself during the Eucharist. The Pelican Fountain stands as a powerful visual representation of these religious concepts. Its grandeur and attention to detail make it an architectural marvel worth admiring. The granite basins add a touch of elegance while allowing water to flow gracefully through them. Designed by renowned architect Nicolau Nasoni, this fountain not only serves as a religious symbol but also showcases European craftsmanship at its finest. The carving work on display here is truly remarkable, showcasing both skill and artistry. As you gaze upon this photo print, let yourself be transported back in time to experience the beauty and spiritual significance embodied within this extraordinary piece of Portuguese history.
