EDITORS COMMENTS
Place de la Concorde, a historic square in the heart of Paris, is home to one of the city's most iconic landmarks - the Fountain of the Obelisk. This stunning bronze fountain sculpture, located at the center of the square, is a masterpiece of French art and history. The Fountain of the Obelisk, designed by Jacques Ignace Hittorff and Jean-Baptiste Joseph Delamotte, was commissioned by King Louis-Philippe I in 1836. The sculpture features a triton or naiad, a mythological figure from Greek mythology, holding a fish and spouting water from its mouth. The fish represents the Rhone and Rhine rivers, symbolizing the connection between Paris and the two important European rivers. The intricate design of the sculpture is a marvel to behold. The triton is depicted with the body of a fish and the upper body of a man, with a serene expression on its face. The fish it holds is also intricately detailed, with scales that seem to shimmer in the sunlight. The water spouting from the triton's mouth forms a beautiful arc, creating a mesmerizing sight as it lands in the square's reflecting pool. The Fountain of the Obelisk is not only a work of art but also a symbol of Parisian history. It stands as a reminder of the city's rich cultural heritage and its connection to the Rhone and Rhine rivers. The sculpture has been a beloved attraction for visitors to Paris for over a century and continues to be a source of inspiration and wonder. This photograph captures the beauty and majesty of the Fountain of the Obelisk in all its glory. The play of light and shadow on the bronze sculpture, the shimmering water, and the peaceful reflection in the pool create a scene that is both timeless and breathtaking. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of Paris and its iconic landmarks.
