NACCHERINO, Michelangelo: Fountain of Santa Lucia

🖼 Fountain of Santa Lucia, 1606
Marble
Naples, Italy

Cascading water animates three tiers of sculptural figures in baroque splendor, their classical forms arranged symmetrically around the central jet. Naccherino's fountain became a defining monument of early seventeenth-century Naples, establishing the city's architectural grandeur while celebrating the engineering marvel of abundant water supply.
