The Beautiful Early Wonders by Bernini
The Beautiful Early Wonders by Bernini Bernini's earliest water fountain, named Barcaccia, is a breath taking work of art seen at the foot of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna.
To this day, you will find Roman locals and vacation goers filling this spot to revel in chit chatter and being among other people. The streets surrounding his water fountain have come to be one of the city’s most stylish meeting places, something which would certainly have pleased Bernini himself. In about 1630, the great master built the first fountain of his career at the behest of Pope Ubano VIII. People can now see the fountain as a depiction of a commanding ship slowly sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. The great flooding of the Tevere that blanketed the whole region with water in the 16th was memorialized by this momentous fountain as recorded by reports dating back to this period. In 1665 Bernini traveled to France, in what was to be his only extended absence from Italy.
Greece: Cultural Sculpture
Greece: Cultural Sculpture
Sculptors adorned the elaborate columns and archways with renderings of the gods until the time came to a close and more Greeks had begun to think of their religion as superstitious rather than sacred; at that point, it became more common for sculptors be paid to show ordinary individuals as well. Portraiture started to be prevalent as well, and would be welcomed by the Romans when they defeated the Greeks, and sometimes well-off families would commission a representation of their progenitors to be placed inside their grand familial tombs. A time of aesthetic enhancement, the use of sculpture and other art forms morphed during the Greek Classical period, so it is inexact to suggest that the arts provided only one function. Greek sculpture was actually a modern part of antiquity, whether the explanation was faith based fervor or aesthetic fulfillment, and its modern quality may be what endears it to us today.
