The Countless Options in Wall Fountains
The Countless Options in Wall Fountains A small patio or a courtyard is a great place to put your wall fountain when you seek peace and quiet. Additionally, it can be designed to fit into any wall space since it does not occupy much room. The required elements include a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump regardless of whether it is freestanding or anchored. There are any variety of models to choose from such as traditional, contemporary, classic, or Asian.With its basin situated on the ground, freestanding wall fountains, or floor fountains, are typically quite big in size.
A stand-alone water feature can either be incorporated onto a wall already in existence or built into a wall under construction. Integrating this kind of water feature into your landscape adds a cohesiveness to the look you want to attain rather than making it seem as if the fountain was merely added later.
The Godfather Of Roman Public Fountains
The Godfather Of Roman Public Fountains
There are many celebrated water features in Rome’s city center. Gian Lorenzo Bernini, one of the best sculptors and artists of the 17th century developed, created and constructed almost all of them. Also a city builder, he had capabilities as a fountain designer, and records of his life's work are noticeable throughout the streets of Rome. Bernini's father, a renowned Florentine sculptor, mentored his young son, and they ultimately moved to Rome, in order to fully express their art, primarily in the form of public water fountains and water features. The young Bernini was an great employee and won praise and patronage of significant artists as well as popes. At first he was renowned for his sculpting skills. An expert in ancient Greek engineering, he used this knowledge as a platform and melded it gracefully with Roman marble, most remarkably in the Vatican. Though he was influenced by many, Michelangelo had the most profound impact on him, both personally and professionally.
