GIROLAMO RAINALDI. NORTHERN FOUNTAIN OF PIAZZA FARNESE, 1626, WITH SPOLIA GRANITE BASIN FROM THE BATHS OF CARACALLA, 212-216 CE This grey Aswan granite basin is one of two in piazza Farnese. They both originated in the Baths of Caracalla, where they functioned as fountains, though they have the form of huge bathtubs, complete with ring handles in relief. The basins were political pawns in the C15 and C16, being moved from their findspot in the Baths of Caracalla in 1466 to piazza S. Marco, the site of the huge papal palace of Paul II Barbo, today's palazzo Venezia. One was moved to piazza Farnese in c. 1545 by order of Paul III Farnese, and placed in front of the main entrance to palazzo Farnese where it served as a viewing box for bullfights in the piazza. Cardinal Alessandro II Farnese had the other one moved in c. 1580, a sure sign of the eclipse of palazzo Venezia. Only the construction of the Acqua Paola in 1605 made possible the basins' return to use as fountains.
This seemed like a belated (or early) #PhallusThursday post waiting to be made. But in fact it's a sort of early #SpoliaSunday post drawing attention to the beautiful #granite basin of one of the #fountains of piazza #Farnese. #AncientBluesky 🏺
