点评:Visiting the wonderful Weihnachtsmarkt Am Roten Rathaus ( Red City Hall Christmas Market ) I wandered over to the wonderful Neptunbrunnen,in my opinion one of the most beautiful fountains in Berlin.
Constructed in 1891 from designs from Reinhold Begas who was one of the most renowned German sculptors back in the day,the fountain features Neptune who was the Roman god of sea and water atop a giant shell ,flanked by four female figures representing the River Elbe,River Rhine,River Vistula and River Oder,I love the animated pose of Neptune with trident in hand controlling a fierce sea beast ,this juxtaposition of figures and creatures is spellbinding ,the fountain was originally positioned in front of Berlin Palace but due to the devastation heaped on Berlin during World War Two was moved to this location on Rathausstraße, its most definitely a fountain to check out if you're in the area, for me personally it's testament to the artistic flair of Berlin and reminds us all how much this city is such a fascinating destination to visit.
翻译:参观了美妙的 Weihnachtsmarkt Am Roten Rathaus(红色市政厅圣诞市场),我漫步到了美妙的海神喷泉,在我看来,这是柏林最美丽的喷泉之一。
喷泉建于 1891 年,由当时最著名的德国雕塑家之一雷因霍尔德·贝加斯 (Reinhold Begas) 设计,喷泉的特色是罗马神话中的海神尼普顿 (Neptune) 站在一个巨大的贝壳之上,两侧是四个女性人物,分别代表易北河、莱茵河、维斯瓦河和奥得河,我喜欢尼普顿手持三叉戟控制凶猛的海兽的生动姿势,这种人物和生物的并置令人着迷,喷泉最初位于柏林宫前,但由于二战期间柏林遭到严重破坏,喷泉被移至市政厅大街的这个位置,如果你在附近,绝对值得一看的喷泉,对我个人而言,它证明了柏林的艺术天赋,并提醒我们所有人这座城市是多么令人着迷的旅游目的地。
