"Old School" Water Feature Manufacturers

"Old School" Water Feature Manufacturers Water fountain designers were multi-talented individuals from the 16th to the later part of the 18th century, often working as architects, sculptors, artists, engineers and cultivated scholars all in one. Throughout the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci exemplified the artist as an innovative master, creator and scientific specialist. He systematically captured his findings in his now renowned notebooks, after his mind boggling curiosity in the forces of nature inspired him to investigate the properties and motion of water. Early Italian water feature designers converted private villa settings into inventive water showcases full of symbolic meaning and natural beauty by combining imagination with hydraulic and gardening talent. Known for his virtuosity in archeology, architecture and garden creations, Pirro Ligorio, the humanist, provided the vision behind the splendors in Tivoli. Other fountain developers, masterminding the extraordinary water marbles, water features and water humor for the countless mansions near Florence, were well-versed in humanist topics and time-honored scientific readings.

Having a wall fountain in your backyard or on a veranda is ideal when you wish to relax. You can also make use of a small area by having one custom-built. A spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump are vital for freestanding as well as mounted varieties. There are any number of models to choose from most notably conventional, contemporary, classic, or Asian.

Usually quite big, freestanding wall fountains, also referred to as floor fountains, have their basins on the floor.

On the other hand, a water feature attached to a wall can be integrated onto an existing wall or fit into a new wall. Integrating this type of water feature into your landscape adds a cohesiveness to the look you want to achieve rather than making it seem as if the fountain was merely added later.
