The Beautiful Early Masterpieces by Bernini
The Beautiful Early Masterpieces by Bernini The Barcaccia, a beautiful fountain built at the base of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna, was Bernini's earliest fountain. To this day, you will find Roman locals and vacation goers filling this area to revel in chit chatter and being among other people. Today, the city streets around Bernini's fountain are a trendy place where people go to meet, something which the artist would have been pleased to learn.
In about 1630, the great artist built the very first water fountain of his career at the behest of Pope Ubano VIII. People can now see the fountain as an illustration of a great ship gradually sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. The great flooding of the Tevere that covered the whole region with water in the 16th was commemorated by this momentous fountain as recorded by documents dating back to this time. In 1665 Bernini journeyed to France, in what was to be his sole extended absence from Italy.
The Many Styles of Wall Water Fountains
The Many Styles of Wall Water Fountains A small patio or a courtyard is a great place to put your wall fountain when you seek peace and quiet.
Even a small space can contain a custom-made one. A spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump are essential for freestanding as well as mounted styles. Traditional, contemporary, classic, and Asian are just some of the styles from which you can consider. With its basin laid on the ground, freestanding wall fountains, or floor fountains, are typically quite large in size.
A stand-alone water feature can either be incorporated onto a wall already in existence or fitted into a wall under construction. This style of fountain adds to a cohesive look making it appear as if it was part of the landscape rather than an added feature.
