EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Neptune fountain in Piazza della Signoria, Florence. Standing tall and proud, this iconic masterpiece represents a harmonious blend of Mannerism, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that have left an indelible mark on Europe's artistic heritage. The photograph was taken in November 1960, capturing the timeless beauty of this remarkable artwork created between 1563 and 1575 by the talented artist Ammannati Bartolomeo (1511-1592). The fountain itself is a testament to his skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. At first glance, one cannot help but be mesmerized by the intricate design featuring various elements such as animals, vertebrates, mammals including horses. The presence of both nude human bodies - male and female - adds an intriguing touch to this divine composition. Mythology comes alive as Poseidon or Neptune takes center stage with his commanding presence while surrounded by hybrid figures like Triton. The fusion of Greco-Roman influences with Renaissance-Baroque aesthetics creates a visual feast for art enthusiasts from all over the world. It serves as a reminder of Europe's rich cultural history spanning across millennia. Vincenzo Balocchi has masterfully captured the essence of this extraordinary artwork through his lens. This print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail up close while immersing themselves in the grandeur that defines Piazza della Signoria. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where art flourished under skilled hands like Ammannati Bartolomeo's. It serves as a poignant reminder that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe and admiration among those fortunate enough to witness their magnificence firsthand.
