EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of The Fountain of the Virtues (Tugendbrunnen) in Nuremberg, a masterpiece of late Renaissance architecture and sculpture. The fountain, dating back to the late 16th century, is a symbol of justice and virtue, adorned with grotesque masks and allegorical figures representing different virtues.
The balustrade surrounding the fountain adds to its grandeur, showcasing a mix of Renaissance and Baroque styles that were popular during that period. The bronze statues stand tall as they overlook the city square, embodying abstract concepts and symbols that speak to the values of society at that time.
The photographer has expertly captured every detail of this monumental work, from the gargoyle-like faces to the flowing water below. The play of light and shadow on the sculptures creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, bringing this historic fountain to life in a new way.
As you gaze upon this photo print, you can almost hear the gentle trickle of water from the fountain and feel yourself transported back in time to an era when artistry and craftsmanship reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and values, encapsulated in this timeless piece of public art in Nuremberg.
