Monomad - Dolphin Fountain

Hey dear friends of art, at the beginning I would like to wish you all a great day and hope you have made one or the other good experience! For the new round of the #monomad challenge, I took a few pictures in black and white, which I would like to share in this post.

My entry presents a work of art that is based on mythology and you can see here a dolphin fountain with a putto. At the time I shot the pictures, there was no water in the fountain, but I think the work comes still out very well. I photographed it in a park and clearly recognize the effort the artist has put into this work! I am generally a enthusiast of artworks that are based on mythology and am always happy to find sculptures like this.

The dolphin look very authentic and in addition you can see a playing putto. Putto is often seen in different mythology and it symbolizes a painting or sculpture in the form of a child. It is sometimes depicted with wings and can often be found in works of art from the Renaissance which are generally religiously based. Artworks with a Putto are also often associated with music and depicted with various musical instruments.

Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you like my new entry! I used my camera Sony Alpha 6000 and Sony SEL-55210 Telephoto Zoom Lens (55-210mm) to take these pictures.
