Rome, Italy. Detail of the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi in Piazza Navona. The four figures represent the four most important rivers known at the time: the Nile (Giacomo Antonio Fancelli), the Ganges (Claude Poussin), the Danube (Ercole Antonio Raggi) and the Rio della Plata (Francesco Baratta). The sources of the Nile being at the time unknown, the Nile is represented with a veiled face. An erroneous popular saying wants the design of the statues as the results of the rivalry between Bernini and Borromini, who designed the church in front. This is totally gratuitous as the fountain was inaugurated in 1651 and Borromini took direction of the works on the church only in 1653. The two rivers visible in this pictures are the Danube (Ercole Antonio Raggi, left) and the Ganges (Claude Poussin, right).

Roman, born 1966, photographer by vocation, I received my long-desired first camera when I was 7 years old, a Kodak Instamatic 36, and since then photography is one of my main interests in life. I work mainly in colour, using both digital and film, and develop my colour films by myself with a Jobo CPP-2 rotary processor. My main subjects of interest are urban landscape and sculpture, photographed with an explicitly descriptive attitude. My photographs have also been published in travel guides, newspapers and text books all over the world, from the US and Brazil to Japan. Please note that the Fine Art America watermark will not show in the print you buy. This only shows in this web site.
