La Fontana delle Tartarughe, Roma - Original

Size: 30x22

When I saw this fountain on a late afternoon walk in Rome, I knew I had to make it the next painting in my Fountains of Rome series. It is delicate and the fountain itself almost seems to dance like the water it contains. This is unique when many of the fountains of its time were built on a dramatic scale.

See full description & specifications

The fountain was built between 1580 and 1588 as part of an initiative to make water more readily available to the people of Rome using the the Acqua Virgine Aqueduct.

The commission belonged to Giacomo della Porta, an architect famous for his bowl-style fountains in Rome. But the Mattei, whose palazzo the fountain would be in front of, wanted the fountain to be embellished with classical references. A young artist named Taddeo Landini was hired to work in conjunction with della Porta. So della Porta designed the marble base and column while Landini designed the bronze figures thought to be the sons of Neptune. They each have one foot placed on a dolphin as they sit above a conch shell.

Interestingly the fountain was originally called the Fontana delli Mattei because the turtles were not added until 1658. People loved the addition and it became famous in its time. Ever since it has  been known as the “La Fontana delle Tartarughe”.

The fountain was built between 1580 and 1588 as part of an initiative to make water more readily available to the people of Rome using the the Acqua Vergine Aqueduct.

Giacomo della Porta, an architect famous for designing bowl-style fountains, was given the commission. But the Mattei, whose palazzo would be directly in front of the fountain, had a different idea of how it should look. They hired a young artist named Taddeo Landini to embellish it with classical references. So della Porta designed the marble base and column while Landini designed the bronze figures representing the sons of Neptune, each sitting on a conch shell with a foot placed on a dolphin.

Interestingly the fountain was originally called the Fontana delli Mattei because the turtles were not added until 1658. People loved the addition and it became famous in its time. Ever since it has  been known as the “La Fontana delle Tartarughe”.

Verified Archival Materials Used

The Art Storefronts Organization has verified that this Art Seller has published information about the archival materials used to create their products in an effort to provide transparency to buyers.

Description from Merchant:

Each original artwork is painted with high quality watercolor with the highest lightfast rating. All paper is archival to ensure longevity. See each individual painting for specific paper descriptions. Paintings will also arrive encased in a crystal-clear archival bag. This protects it since touching the painting can transfer oils from your hands to the paper potentially causing discolorations over time. It is also recommended that the watercolors be framed with UV protective glass to prevent harmful UV rays from fading the artwork.
