A Grand Entrance - Fine Art Photograph by Colleen Kammerer
~~
in the distance of this grand entry is the Renaissance statue of "Oceanus and the Three Rivers." This monument stand 10 feet tall. It was commissioned by Rockefeller Jr. in 1913. It is a replica of a 1571 sculpture by Jean Boulogne (Giambologna) from the Boboli Gardens in Florence, Italy. The marble statue of Neptune 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.
The fountain is framed by Honey Locust Trees. In the foreground are two glass globes designed by Tiffany to resemble flaming torches offset set by mums.
