The Fountain of Oceanus

by GIAMBOLOGNA, Marble

This is Giambologna most important later fountain. The marble statue of Neptune (the original is at the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, Florence) stands above three crouching river gods with upturned urns. The entire group sits on top of a large granite ‘tazza’ representing the ocean, which gave this fountain its name to distinguish it from the several other fountains of Neptune.
