In Rome’s city center, there are many famous water fountains. One of the most distinguished sculptors and artists of the 17th century, Gian Lorenzo Bernini planned, conceptualized and built almost all of them. Also a city builder, he had skills as a fountain developer, and marks of his life's work are noticeable throughout the roads of Rome. Eventually travelling to Rome to fully show their artwork, chiefly in the shape of public water fountains, Bernini’s father, a distinguished Florentine sculptor, mentored his young son. An exceptional workman, Bernin received encouragement and the the backing of popes and important artists. Originally he was renowned for his sculpting skills. Most particularly in the Vatican, he utilized a base of knowledge in ancient Greek architecture and melded it flawlessly with Roman marble. He was influenced by many great artists, however, Michelangelo had the biggest effect on his work.

Archaic Greeks were known for developing the first freestanding statuary; up until then, most carvings were formed out of walls and pillars as reliefs. Younger, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks were the subject matter of most of the statues, or kouros figures. Regarded as by Greeks to characterize splendour, the kouroi were structured into firm, forward facing poses with one foot outstretched, and the male statues were always nude, brawny, and fit. Around 650 BC, life-size models of the kouroi began to be seen. Throughout the Archaic period, a great time of changes, the Greeks were developing new forms of government, expressions of art, and a greater understanding of people and cultures outside Greece. Notwithstanding, these clashes did little to hamper the progression of the Greek civilization.
