The Multiple Kinds of Wall Water Fountains
Putting a wall fountain in your backyard or patio is ideal when you want to unwind. You can have one made to suit your specifications even if you have a small amount of space. Both the stand alone and fitted versions must have a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump. There are any number of different styles available on the market including traditional, fashionable, classical, or Asian. Also knownas a floor fountain, a stand-alone wall fountain is normally rather large, and its basin is installed on the ground.
A wall-mounted fountain can either be incorporated onto a wall already in existence or fitted into a wall under construction. This style of fountain contributes to a cohesive look making it appear as if it was part of the landscape instead of an added feature.
The Godfather Of Roman Water Features
The Godfather Of Roman Water Features In Rome’s city center, there are countless celebrated water fountains. Gian Lorenzo Bernini, one of the greatest sculptors and artists of the 17th century designed, conceptualized and constructed almost all of them. His abilities as a water fountain designer and also as a city architect, are obvious throughout the avenues 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 juvenile Bernini was an exceptional employee and won encouragement and backing of important painters as well as popes. His sculpture was initially his claim to fame. An authority in ancient Greek architecture, he used this knowledge as a platform and melded it seamlessly with Roman marble, most notably in the Vatican. Although many artists impacted his artistic endeavors, Michelangelo affected him the most.
