EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic "Fountain of Neptune" in all its glory. Created by Robert MacPherson in 1857, this albumen print captures the essence of ancient Roman architecture and artistry. The fountain, located in Rome's Piazza Navona, stands as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent statue of Neptune himself, the god of the sea. With his regal pose and commanding presence, he exudes power and authority. Surrounding him are intricately designed statues that pay homage to various deities and mythical creatures. MacPherson's skillful use of photography transports us back to 19th-century Rome, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and architectural beauty. The albumen silver print technique used adds a touch of Victorian charm to this timeless piece. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print serves as a window into another era—a glimpse into a world where gods were worshipped and art was revered. It reminds us that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to captivate audiences with their grandeur. Whether you are an admirer of ancient Roman culture or simply appreciate fine artistry captured through photography, this stunning image is sure to leave an indelible impression on your mind.
