Bernini's Water Features

Bernini's Water Features In Rome’s city center, there are many famous water features. One of the greatest sculptors and artists of the 17th century, virtually all of them were planned, conceived and built by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Marks of his life's work are evident all through the streets of Rome because, in addition to his skills as a water fountain creator, he was also a city builder. 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 diligent employee, the young Bernini earned compliments and patronage of various popes and influential artists. He was initially recognized for his sculpture. Most famously in the Vatican, he made use of a base of knowledge in classic Greek architecture and melded it flawlessly with Roman marble. He was affected by many great artists, however, Michelangelo had the biggest effect on his work.

The Public Garden Fountains

The Public Garden Fountains Villages and villages relied on practical water fountains to channel water for preparing food, bathing, and cleaning from nearby sources like lakes, streams, or creeks. The force of gravity was the power supply of water fountains up until the conclusion of the nineteenth century, using the potent power of water traveling downhill from a spring or brook to push the water through spigots or other outlets. The beauty and wonder of fountains make them ideal for traditional memorials. The common fountains of today bear little similarity to the very first water fountains. A natural stone basin, crafted from rock, was the 1st fountain, used for containing water for drinking and spiritual purposes. 2,000 B.C. is when the earliest known stone fountain basins were actually used. The earliest civilizations that made use of fountains depended on gravity to push water through spigots. Drinking water was delivered by public fountains, long before fountains became decorative public statues, as striking as they are practical. The people of Rome began creating decorative fountains in 6 BC, most of which were bronze or stone masks of wildlife and mythological heroes. Public Garden Fountains 4301361567987.jpg
