The Outdoor Garden Fountains
The Outdoor Garden Fountains Towns and communities relied on practical water fountains to conduct water for cooking, washing, and cleaning from local sources like lakes, streams, or springs. To make water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and generate a jet of water, mandated the force of gravity and a water source such as a spring or reservoir, situated higher than the fountain. The appeal and spectacle of fountains make them perfect for historical monuments. Simple in design, the first water fountains did not look much like present fountains. A natural stone basin, crafted from rock, was the first fountain, utilized for holding water for drinking and spiritual purposes. Rock basins are believed to have been 1st utilized around 2000 BC. Early fountains put to use in ancient civilizations depended on gravity to control the circulation of water through the fountain. Drinking water was supplied by public fountains, long before fountains became decorative public statues, as pretty as they are practical.
Wildlife, Gods, and Spiritual figures dominated the early ornate Roman fountains, starting to show up in about 6 B.C.. The extraordinary aqueducts of Rome provided water to the incredible public fountains, most of which you can visit today.
"Primitive" Greek Artistry: Outdoor Statuary
"Primitive" Greek Artistry: Outdoor Statuary Up until the Archaic Greeks created the 1st freestanding sculpture, a phenomenal success, carvings had largely been done in walls and pillars as reliefs.
Most of the freestanding statues were of youthful, winsome male or female (kore) Greeks and are called kouros figures. The kouroi, viewed by the Greeks to exemplify beauty, had one foot stretched out of a strict forward-facing pose and the male figurines were regularly unclothed, with a powerful, sturdy build. Around 650 BC, life-sized versions of the kouroi began to be observed. A massive period of improvement for the Greeks, the Archaic period helped bring about more forms of government, expressions of art, and a higher comprehension of people and cultures outside of Greece. But in spite of the conflicts, the Greek civilization went on to advance, unabated.
