EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century print captures the timeless beauty and rich history of the Fountain of the Goddess Diana, also known as the Fountain of the Four Fountains or Quattro Fontane, located in Rome, Italy. Designed by the renowned Italian artist Pietro da Cortona, this masterpiece was created during the late Renaissance period and is a testament to the artistic prowess of the time. The fountain, adorned with intricate details, depicts the mythological goddess Diana, the huntress, standing proudly atop a travertine pedestal. Surrounding her are four smaller fountains, each representing the elements: a jet of water shooting from a dolphin symbolizes water, a stream flowing from the mouth of a mask represents air, a sun emanating from a shield represents fire, and a dog with a jet of water gushing from its mouth represents earth. The goddess Diana, clad in a flowing robe, is depicted in the act of drawing a bow and arrow, symbolizing her role as the goddess of the hunt. The detail in this print is truly breathtaking, with the play of light and shadow on the marble sculptures creating an ethereal effect. The mythological significance of the fountain is further enhanced by the presence of a dog at Diana's feet, symbolizing fidelity and loyalty. This print is a stunning reminder of the rich history and artistic heritage of Italy, transporting us back to the age of the Renaissance and the mythological tales that shaped the world. The intricate details, from the curves of the goddess's form to the ripples in the water, make this a true work of art that is sure to captivate the viewer.
