Artist's Description

Made by Bartolomeo Ammannati (Michelangelo's student) and some assistants (like Giambologna) around 1563. The Fountain of Neptune was commissioned for the wedding of Francesco I de Medici. Neptune stands on a high pedestal in the middle of the fountain, surrounded by mythical figures like Scylla, Charybdis and Satyrs.
Many Florentines didn't appreciate the fountain (including Michelangelo, who called it a waste of marble), and it became known as "Il Biancone" (the white giant).

I was fascinated by the bronze cast satyrs like this one, that surround the figure of Neptune. I agree with Michelangelo, "what a beautiful piece of marble you've ruined."

About Melany Sarafis

Melany Sarafis

Melany Sarafis served her country for 24 years and recently retired from the USAF as a First Sergeant. She thinks it's really stupid when photographers refer to themselves in the 3rd person on their biographies. I needed to do something "low speed" after a successful but stressful military career. I've have been an avid photographer for a few years and enjoy this "internal" creative process and I was a full time student at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Tx, pursuing a BFA in Studio Arts with an emphasis in Photography and Jewelry/Metalsmith Work. After taking an Art History course and learning a little about the Renaissance, I've become enamored with this art era. I took a trip to Florence Italy (the home of the Renaissance)...
