How Technical Designs And Styles of Water Fountains Spread Dissiminating useful hydraulic information and water feature design ideas all through Europe was accomplished with the written documents and illustrated publications of the time. An unnamed French water fountain designer came to be an globally renowned hydraulic pioneer in the later part of the 1500's. His expertise in creating landscapes and grottoes with integrated and brilliant water fountains began in Italy and with commissions in Brussels, London and Germany. “The Principles of Moving Forces”, a guide that became the essential book on hydraulic technology and engineering, was authored by him towards the end of his lifetime in France. The publication modified important hydraulic advancements since classical antiquity as well as detailing contemporary hydraulic technologies. Prominent among these works were those of Archimedes, the creator of the water screw, a mechanical means of moving water. A pair of concealed vessels heated by the sun's rays in an area adjacent to the ornamental fountain were found in an illustration. The end result: the fountain is triggered by the hot water expanding and rising up the piping. Garden ponds as well as pumps, water wheels, and water feature concepts are incorporated in the book.

Throughout the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci exemplified the artist as an creative wizard, inventor and scientific specialist. The forces of nature guided him to analyze the properties and movement of water, and due to his curiosity, he methodically recorded his experiences in his now famed notebooks. Early Italian water feature engineers changed private villa settings into amazing water displays complete with symbolic meaning and natural beauty by combining creativity with hydraulic and gardening experience. The magnificence in Tivoli were created by the humanist Pirro Ligorio, who was famed for his capabilities in archeology, architecture and garden design. Other fountain developers, masterminding the extraordinary water marbles, water attributes and water jokes for the various domains near Florence, were well-versed in humanistic themes and time-honored scientific texts.
