Modern Garden Decor: Outdoor Fountains and their Roots A water fountain is an architectural piece that pours water into a basin or jets it high into the air in order to supply drinking water, as well as for decorative purposes.

From the beginning, outdoor fountains were soley meant to serve as functional elements. People in cities, towns and villages received their drinking water, as well as water to bathe and wash, via aqueducts or springs nearby. Up until the 19th century, fountains had to be more elevated and closer to a water supply, including aqueducts and reservoirs, in order to benefit from gravity which fed the fountains. Serving as an element of decoration and celebration, fountains also generated clean, fresh drinking water. The main materials used by the Romans to create their fountains were bronze or stone masks, mostly illustrating animals or heroes. Muslims and Moorish landscaping designers of the Middle Ages included fountains to re-create smaller models of the gardens of paradise. King Louis XIV of France wanted to illustrate his dominion over nature by including fountains in the Gardens of Versailles. The Popes of the 17th and 18th centuries were extolled with baroque style fountains made to mark the arrival points of Roman aqueducts.

Indoor plumbing became the main source of water by the end of the 19th century thereby limiting urban fountains to mere decorative elements. The introduction of special water effects and the recycling of water were two things made possible by replacing gravity with mechanical pumps.

Decorating city parks, honoring people or events and entertaining, are some of the purposes of modern-day fountains.

Architectural Sculpture in Early Greece

Architectural Sculpture in Early Greece Historically, the vast majority of sculptors were paid by the temples to decorate the elaborate columns and archways with renderings of the gods, however as the period came to a close it became more accepted for sculptors to present regular people as well simply because many Greeks had begun to think of their institution as superstitious rather than sacred. Portraiture started to be widespread as well, and would be embraced by the Romans when they conquered the Greeks, and sometimes well-off households would commission a depiction of their progenitors to be put inside their grand familial burial tombs. The use of sculpture and other art forms varied through the many years of The Greek Classical period, a duration of creative growth when the arts had more than one goal. Greek sculpture is perhaps appealing to us all at present as it was an avant-garde experiment in the historic world, so it does not make a difference whether its original function was religious zeal or artistic pleasure.
