Studies for the Fountain of the Four Rivers
Giorgio Franchetti Gallery at Ca' d'Oro
The museum preserves two important studies in terracotta produced by Bernini for the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona in Rome (1648-1651). It depicts the Nile with its face covered, indicating that its source had not yet been discovered, as well as the River Plate, with its dramatic pose poised on the rock.
