EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate design of a Baroque fountain, created by artist Georg Andreas Bockler in 1664. The image captures the essence of this elaborate grotto-style fountain, which would have been found in public squares or private country house gardens across France, Germany, Britain, and Italy during that era. The plate is taken from Architectura Curiosa Nova, a renowned collection published by Paulus Furst in Nuremberg. It offers a glimpse into the architectural studies of the time and highlights the opulence and grandeur associated with Baroque art. In this particular scene depicted on the print, we see a male figure standing beside the fountain. He appears to be holding a weapon - perhaps a spear - suggesting themes of war or conflict. The presence of this man amidst such an exquisite garden setting creates an intriguing contrast between beauty and danger. The stone structure of the grotto adds depth to the composition while water flows gracefully from various points within it. This combination creates a sense of tranquility despite hints at potential violence portrayed through weaponry. Jean-Claude Carriere's collection includes this remarkable piece as part of his passion for preserving historical art media prints like these. Its monochrome aesthetic further enhances its timeless appeal, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance from seventeenth-century Europe.
