"Fantastic Beasts"
The statues might be the focal point of the fountain, but there are several more details that make the composition so powerful and dynamic.
There are, for example, seven different animals portrayed around the fountain, close to the statues of the rivers, lurking under the rocks. This was a very inventive innovation that allowed Bernini to evoke a remarkable level of theatricality, so typical of the Baroque Era.
Close to the river Danube, we see a horse, while a creature that looks like a crocodile or an armadillo is lurking next to the Rio de la Plata. A lion appears next to the Nile, and a dragon seems to have coiled its body around the paddle of the river Ganges. A snake, a sea snake, and a dolphin are also present in the grandiose composition.
Yet, we must never forget that this was a work commissioned by the Pope, whose holiness and dominion are praised with the dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit, flying atop the obelisk.
