A Wall Water Feature to Suit Your Decor
A Wall Water Feature to Suit Your Decor Putting a wall fountain in your yard or patio is perfect when you want to relax. You can also make the most of a small area by having one custom-built. Whether it is stand alone or mounted, you will need a spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump. There are any number of different varieties available on the market including traditional, contemporary, classical, or Asian. Normally quite big, freestanding wall fountains, also referred to as floor fountains, have their basins on the ground.
On the other hand, a fountain affixed to a wall can be integrated onto an existing wall or fit into a new wall. This style of fountain adds to a cohesive look making it seem as if it was part of the landscape rather than an added feature.
The Godfather Of Rome's Public Fountains
The Godfather Of Rome's Public Fountains In Rome’s city center, there are countless easily recognized public fountains. Almost all of them were designed, conceived and constructed by one of the greatest sculptors and designers of the 17th century, Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Also a city builder, he had capabilities as a fountain developer, and remnants of his life's work are obvious throughout the streets of Rome. To completely express their art, primarily in the form of community water fountains and water features, Bernini's father, a celebrated Florentine sculptor, guided his young son, and they eventually moved in the Roman Capitol. An excellent worker, the young Bernini earned compliments and patronage of many popes and important artists.
His sculpture was originally his claim to celebrity. Most famously in the Vatican, he used a base of knowledge in classic Greek architecture and melded it flawlessly with Roman marble. Though he was influenced by many, Michelangelo had the most profound effect on him, both personally and professionally.
