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 best sculptors and artists of the 17th century planned, conceived and produced virtually all of them. Marks of his life's efforts are obvious throughout the avenues of Rome because, in addition to his abilities as a water fountain creator, he was also a city architect. A renowned Florentine sculptor, Bernini's father mentored his young son, and they eventually went to Rome to thoroughly showcase their art, chiefly in the form of public water features and water fountains. The young Bernini received praise from Popes and relevant artists alike, and was an excellent worker. He was initially renowned for his sculpture. An authority in classic Greek engineering, he used this knowledge as a starting point and melded it gracefully with Roman marble, most famously in the Vatican.

Though a variety of artists impacted his artistic endeavors, Michelangelo inspired him the most.

The Beginnings of Modern Outdoor Wall Fountains

The Beginnings of Modern Outdoor Wall Fountains Pope Nicholas V, himself a learned man, ruled the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455 during which time he commissioned many translations of old classic Greek documents into Latin. It was imperative for him to embellish the city of Rome to make it worthy of being known as the capital of the Christian world. Reconstruction of the Acqua Vergine, a desolate Roman aqueduct which had transported fresh drinking water into the city from eight miles away, began in 1453 at the bidding of the Pope. The ancient Roman tradition of building an awe-inspiring commemorative fountain at the location where an aqueduct arrived, also known as a mostra, was resurrected by Nicholas V. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was directed by the Pope to put up a wall fountain where we now see the Trevi Fountain. The Trevi Fountain as well as the well-known baroque fountains located in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona were eventually supplied with water from the altered aqueduct he had rebuilt.
