EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Fountain of Moses in Rome, a true masterpiece designed by the talented Domenico Fontana. Originally built as an exhibition for the Felice aqueduct, this monumental fountain stands proudly in Piazza S. Bernardo, exuding grandeur and elegance. The photograph was taken around 1890, capturing the essence of this late Renaissance creation that dates back to 1587. The artistic collaboration between Domenico Fontana and Giovanni Fontana resulted in a remarkable fusion of Renaissance and Baroque styles, making it a significant representation of European art during these periods. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the intricate details carved into every inch of this architectural marvel. The statue of Moses himself takes center stage, commanding attention with his powerful presence. Inspired by biblical tales from the Old Testament, this iconic figure symbolizes strength and wisdom. Surrounded by men and people who appreciate its beauty, the Fountain of Moses becomes more than just an artwork; it becomes a gathering place where individuals can admire its craftsmanship while immersing themselves in history. With its rich historical significance spanning across centuries - from the first millennium A. D. to present times - this photograph serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout different eras. Anderson's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the physical attributes but also feel connected to those who have marveled at this fountain before us. It reminds us that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time and continues to inspire generations after generations.
