"Old School" Fountain Designers
"Old School" Fountain Designers Frequently serving as architects, sculptors, artists, engineers and discerning scholars, all in one, fountain designers were multi-faceted people from the 16th to the later part of the 18th century. Leonardo da Vinci, a Renaissance artist, was celebrated as an creative master, inventor and scientific master. The forces of nature guided him to examine the qualities and motion of water, and due to his fascination, he systematically captured his ideas in his now famed notebooks. Transforming private villa settings into amazing water showcases full with symbolic significance and natural wonder, early Italian fountain engineers coupled resourcefulness with hydraulic and gardening knowledge. Known for his incredible skill in archeology, architecture and garden creations, Pirro Ligorio, the humanist, delivered the vision behind the magnificence in Tivoli. Other water feature developers, masterminding the phenomenal water marbles, water features and water humor for the many mansions near Florence, were tried and tested in humanist subject areas and time-honored scientific texts.
The Broad Array of Outdoor Wall Water Fountains
The Broad Array of Outdoor Wall Water Fountains A small patio or a courtyard is a great spot to put your wall fountain when you seek peace and quiet. You can also make the most of a small space by having one custom-built. Both the stand alone and mounted types need to have a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump.
Traditional, contemporary, antique, and Asian are just some of the styles from which you can choose. Normally quite large, freestanding wall fountains, also referred to as floor fountains, have their basins on the ground.
A wall-mounted fountain can either be incorporated onto a wall already in existence or built into a wall under construction. A unified look can be realized with this style of water feature because it seems to become part of the scenery rather than an added element.
