The addition of a wall water feature or an outdoor garden fountain is an excellent way to adorn your yard or garden design. Historical fountains and water features have sparked the notice of contemporary designers as well as fountain manufacturers. As such, integrating one of these to your home design is a superb way to connect it to the past. The benefit of having a garden fountain extends beyond its beauty as it also appeals to birds and other wildlife, in addition to harmonizing the ecosystem with the water and moisture it emits into the atmosphere. Flying, bothersome insects, for instance, are scared away by the birds congregating near the fountain or birdbath.

Wall fountains are a good choice if your yard is small because they do not need much space in contrast to a spouting or cascading fountain. Two possibilities to pick from include either a freestanding type with an even back set against a fence or wall in your backyard, or a wall-mounted, self-contained type which hangs on a wall. Adding a fountain to an existent wall requires that you include a fountain mask as well as a basin at the bottom to collect the water. It is best not to undertake this job yourself as skilled plumbers and masons are best suited to do this type of work.

Bernini's Garden Fountains

Bernini's Garden Fountains There are numerous celebrated water fountains in Rome’s city center. One of the finest sculptors and artists of the 17th century, almost all of them were planned, conceived and constructed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. His expertise as a fountain creator and also as a city designer, are obvious all through the avenues of Rome. Bernini's father, a renowned Florentine sculptor, mentored his young son, and they ultimately moved to Rome, in order to fully express their art, primarily in the form of public water fountains and water features. An exceptional workman, Bernin received praise and the the backing of popes and well known painters. At first he was recognized for his sculpting skills. An expert in ancient Greek architecture, he utilized this knowledge as a starting point and melded it seamlessly with Roman marble, most notably in the Vatican. Although many artists had an influence on his work, Michelangelo had the most profound effect.
