Fountain of Oceanus by Giambologna, Renaissance fountain in Boboli Gardens, Florence, Italy.
The Fountain of Oceanus features a marble statue of Neptune with three river gods positioned around a large granite basin at its base.
Giambologna completed this fountain in 1576 for Francesco I de' Medici, incorporating elements that represent the major rivers flowing into the ocean.
The fountain exemplifies Renaissance sculpture techniques through its detailed representation of mythological figures and natural elements in marble and granite materials.
The original Neptune statue resides in the Bargello Museum, while visitors can observe a replica at the fountain's center in Boboli Gardens.
Four decorative fountains shaped like male harpies dispense water into shell-shaped tanks featuring marine motifs near the central basin.
