The Keeper of the pond. Italian giant.
Looking at this sculpture of huge size, I can not help remembering the expression:"the Eighth wonder of the world." In our world there are so many miracles that sometimes it even seems that there are not eight of them, but much more. Happy are those people who saw a lot of this beauty.
In Italy, 15 kilometers from Florence, in a Park near the Villa Demidov, there is a huge sculpture. Name it such same an unusual, as and external kind of - "the Keeper of the pond."
In 1580 by the Italian architect Jean de Boulogne planned to create a gigantic scale of the statue. I wonder what was the sculptor, what was he thinking and how did you come up with such an original idea in his head? But, no matter how many questions lurk, and the answer is one: Look and enjoy the beauty of this majestic Italian Guardian.
Think only, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21-th century... It's been so many years, and the pond Keeper is still guarding the Italian neighborhood. What is most interesting, this giant, among all the others available in those days, the statue remained untouched by marauders. Fingerprint time imposed of course, without it anywhere, but still, we can admire this masterpiece in our days. Unfortunately not managed to learn not one the Internet, what size is a wonder of the world, what material is it created, and all the other details.
And all this sculpture very even forces to start thinking about eternal things. And they say that nothing is eternal, 6 centuries, if not forever?
