A Wall Fountain to Fit Your Design
A Wall Fountain to Fit Your Design Having a wall fountain in your garden or on a veranda is ideal when you wish to relax. You can have one custom-built to suit your specifications even if you have a minimum amount of space.
Both the stand alone and mounted types must have a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump. Traditional, modern, antique, and Asian are just a few of the styles from which you can choose. Also knownas a floor fountain, a stand-alone wall fountain is normally rather big, 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. The look of your landscape will seem more cohesive instead of disjointed when you install this style of fountain.
Bernini’s Early Italian Fountains
Bernini’s Early Italian Fountains
One can find Bernini's very first masterpiece, the Barcaccia water fountain, at the bottom of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna. This spot continues to be filled with Roman locals and visitors who enjoy exchanging gossip or going over the day's news. The streets neighboring his fountain have come to be one of the city’s most stylish gathering places, something which would certainly have pleased Bernini himself. Dating back to around 1630, Pope Urbano VIII mandated what was to be the earliest water fountain of the artist's career. A large ship slowly sinking into the Mediterranean is the fountain's central theme. The great 16th century flooding of the Tevere, which left the entire region inundated with water, was memorialized by the water fountain according to writings from the time. Absenting himself from Italy only once in his life for a prolonged period of time, in 1665 Bernini traveled to France.
