EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a close-up of the magnificent Rhea Silvia statue, located at the Fonte Gaia in Siena's Piazza del Campo until 1859. The statue was then moved to the Public Palace for preservation and now resides in the prestigious Museum of Santa Maria della Scala. Dating back to 1414-1419, this masterpiece was created by the renowned artist Jacopo Della Quercia (1374-1438) during the Renaissance period. The sculpture showcases his exceptional talent and mastery of both Renaissance and Baroque styles. The female figure depicted in this artwork represents more than just a person; she embodies various allegorical, abstract concepts, symbols, and elements from Greco-Roman mythology. This fusion of mythological references with European artistic traditions is characteristic of Renaissance art.

This image serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with our past while appreciating its relevance today. It invites us to explore Siena's history through its remarkable sculptures housed within esteemed institutions like the Museum of Santa Maria della Scala. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply appreciate beauty frozen in time, this print offers a glimpse into an era where creativity flourished amidst historical significance – truly capturing the essence of Rhea Silvia at Fonte Gaia.
