The Multiple Styles of Wall Fountains

The Multiple Styles of Wall Fountains Placing a wall fountain in your yard or patio is perfect when you want to unwind. Even a little space can include a custom-made one. Both the stand alone and mounted types must have a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump. Traditional, contemporary, antique, and Asian are just some of the styles from which you can consider.

With its basin placed on the ground, freestanding wall fountains, or floor fountains, are normally quite big in size.Multiple Styles Wall Fountains 281784418106434.jpg

On the other hand, a water feature affixed to a wall can be incorporated onto an existing wall or fit into a new wall. A unified look can be achieved with this style of fountain because it seems to become part of the scenery rather than an added element.

The First Modern Wall Fountains

The First Modern Wall Fountains Pope Nicholas V, himself a learned man, governed the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455 during which time he commissioned many translations of ancient classic Greek documents into Latin. In order to make Rome deserving of being the capital of the Christian world, the Pope decided to embellish the beauty of the city.First Modern Wall Fountains 7433584414675594899.jpg Restoration of the Acqua Vergine, a ruined Roman aqueduct which had carried clean 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 imposing commemorative fountain at the point where an aqueduct arrived, also known as a mostra, was revived by Nicholas V. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was commissioned by the Pope to put up a wall fountain where we now see the Trevi Fountain. The aqueduct he had refurbished included modifications and extensions which eventually enabled it to supply water to the Trevi Fountain as well as the famed baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona.

The Godfather Of Roman Garden Fountains

The Godfather Of Roman Garden Fountains There are numerous renowned water features in the city center of Rome. Gian Lorenzo Bernini, one of the best sculptors and artists of the 17th century designed, conceptualized and built virtually all of them. Also a city builder, he had capabilities as a water fountain designer, and traces of his life's work are apparent throughout the roads of Rome.Godfather Roman Garden Fountains 81352730.jpg Eventually travelling to Rome to fully show their art, chiefly in the shape of public water fountains, Bernini’s father, a distinguished Florentine sculptor, guided his young son. An outstanding worker, Bernin received compliments and the patronage of popes and well known painters. He was initially renowned for his sculpture. Most particularly in the Vatican, he made use of a base of experience in ancient Greek architecture and melded it flawlessly with Roman marble. Although many artists had an influence on his work, Michelangelo had the most profound effect.
