What people say
Karyn Farrell
"Four exquisite figures surround the fountain, emblems of the four seasons. The two females personify Spring and Summer, representing both the sacred and profane aspects of love: virtue and vice. The male figures represent Autumn and Winter, and are also thought to depict Boaz and Joaquim, the legendary guardians of the Pillars of Hercules. They face each other across the fountain, their muscles bulging, while water pours from the wineskins they hold, thought to be a symbol of knowledge. Allegorical symbols surround the figures and the entire effect is dramatic and utterly wonderful. "
