EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail from Bernini's masterpiece, the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Rome's Piazza Navona, showcases the powerful and majestic figure of Danube, the personification of the Danube River. Created in 1651, this Baroque sculpture is a testament to Gian Lorenzo Bernini's extraordinary artistic talent. The river god is depicted as a muscular, nude figure, mounted on the back of a fierce, rearing horse. With one hand, Danube holds a cornucopia, symbolizing the abundance and fertility of the Danube, while with the other, he directs the flow of the river, represented by a cascade of water, into the basin below. Danube is one of the four river gods that adorn Bernini's fountain, each representing a major European river. The other three are the Nile, representing Africa, the Ganges, representing Asia, and the Plate, representing America. This magnificent work of art, carved from marble, stands as a symbol of the European identity and the unity of the continent, reflecting the rich mythological and cultural heritage of the Old World. The Fountain of the Four Rivers is a must-see attraction for visitors to Rome, and this intricate detail of Danube offers a closer look at the intricacies and beauty of Bernini's masterful creation. The sculpture continues to captivate and inspire art lovers and historians alike, standing the test of time as a true masterpiece of the Baroque era.
