The Caritas Well (Danish: Caritasbrønden) is the oldest fountain in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was built in 1608 by Christian IV and is located on Gammel Torv along the pedestrian street Strøget. It is considered one of the city's finest Renaissance monuments.

On the King's/Queen's birthday, copper balls covered in 24 carat gold, symbolizing golden apples, jump in the fountain. The tradition goes back to the 18th century.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-caritas-well/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-caritas-well/ Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:29:12 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-caritas-well/ 55.67810200 12.57253400 <![CDATA[Fountain from 'Friends' TV Series]]>

@ 2008-10-31 14:11:08
This magnificent 17th century fountain in Bushy Park was the centrepiece of Sir Christopher Wren's grand approach to Hampton Court Palace. The design is in part attributed to Inigo Jones and is referred to locally as the 'Diana' Fountain. The fountain is actually believed to represent the Goddess's nymph, Arethusa, but there is still much debate to be had upon what is its most appropriate name. Recognised by English Heritage as one of the most important groups of sculpture in Britain, the fountain is adorned by a unique collection of bronzes by French royal sculptor Hubert Le Sueur. Work on the fountain will repair the stonework, pipework and the bronze statuary and ultimately bring the fountain back into full operation. ]]>

The Fontana dei Dioscuri is the fountain set opposite the Palazzo del Quirinale, the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic in the Piazza del Quirinale.
The original fountain, which no longer exists, commissioned by Pope Sixtus V in 1588, had the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux statues, from Constantine I of Rome's Baths, moved to the piazza, from the site, thought to have been near by, flanking it.

Fountain of Piazza Pretoria
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

@ 2008-05-08 02:40:04
In the heart of Palermo's loveliest square, Piazza Pretoria, stands this magnificent fountain, the work of the Florentine sculptor Francesco Camilliani in 1554 and 1555. It overlooks the facades of the two churches on the square, S. Caterina and S. Giuseppe dei Teatini. This fountain is hardly subtle: It's adorned with depictions of allegories, animal heads, nymphs, monsters, ornamental staircases and balustrades, and, of course, gods and goddesses comprising an encyclopedia of Mount Olympus. One of the statuettes guarding the ramps is Ceres, the classical patroness of Sicily, depicted with a horn of plenty. The fountain is floodlit at night, a 24-hour sight.
Shocking, Outrageous, Disgraceful! -- When the Fontana Pretoria was first unveiled in 1575 at Piazza Pretoria, the outcry was so loud it could practically be heard across the city. Originally intended for a private Florentine villa and not a public square, the fountain is adorned with nude figures galore. In time, Palermitans learned to live with this "outrage," although they forever afterward referred to it as Fontana della Vergogna, or "Fountain of Shame."]]>

Bernini's baroque Triton Fountain ( Fontana del Tritone) is located in Piazza Barberini, Rome, near the entrance to the Palazzo Barberini (now housing the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica), which Bernini helped redesign for his patron Maffeo Barberini, who had become pope as Urban VIII. It is a few blocks from Borromini's San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane. In the fountain, which Bernini executed of travertine in 1642–43, an over-lifesize muscular Triton, a minor sea god of ancient Greco-Roman legend, is depicted as a merman kneeling on an opened scallop shell. He throws back his head to raise a conch to his lips: from it a jet of water.]]>

The Fountain of Neptune (Fontana di Nettuno) of Bologna is a monumental civic fountain located in the eponymous square, Piazza Nettuno, next to Piazza Maggiore. Its bronze figure of Neptune, extending his reach in a lordly gesture of stilling and controlling the waters, is an early work of Giambologna's maturity, completed about 1567.

The Fountain of Neptune is a fountain in Florence, Italy, situated on the Piazza della Signoria (Signoria square), in front of the Palazzo Vecchio.

This work by Bartolomeo Ammannati (1563–1565) and some assistants, such as Giambologna, was commissioned on the occasion of the wedding of Francesco I de' Medici with grand duchess Johanna of Austria in 1565. The assignment had first been given to Baccio Bandinelli, who designed the model but he died before he could start working on the block of Apuan marble.

The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain is a memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales.
The 545 individual pieces of Cornish granite were cut using sophisticated computer-guided cutting machines by S. McConnell & Sons in Kilkeel, Northern Ireland.

Although described as an oval stone fountain, it has the form of a large, oval stream bed about 50 by 80 m (165 by 260 feet) that surrounds, and is surrounded by, a lush grassy field. The granite streambed is from 3 to 6 m (10 to 20 feet) wide and quite shallow and is laid out on a gently sloping portion of the park, so that water pumped to the top of the oval flows down either side. One side of the stream bed descends fairly smoothly to the downhill end of the oval with gentle ripples. The other side consists of a variety of steps, rills, curves, and other shapes so that the water plays in interesting ways as it flows to the tranquil pool at the bottom. The two sides were intended to show the two sides of Diana's life, both happy times and turmoil.

The Fountain of Plaza Tacit it is the symbolic expression of a city that, otherwise from the others of Umbria, is bossily manifested in the dimension of the “modern.
The materials used for the construction of the manufactured article are, besides the granite grey employee in the realization of the sidewalk, the red porfido for the edge of the fountain, the marble of Carrara, otherwise worked, for the covering of the central tub and the steel of the needle. During the second world war, the numerous aerial raids that, with their destructions, they twisted the face of the city, they didn't save the monumental fountain seriously damaged by the bombardment of October 14 th 1943. The jobs of reconstruction were taken care of in the building structures and in the fittingses by the civil Genius while the direction of the jobs for the restoration of the mosaics was submitted Conrad Cagli to the same that, also proposing the initial themes, it redrew the signs zodiacali foreseeing the employment of the “Roman mosaic” to the place of the “Venetian” previously adopted.

Part of the Market Street Beautification Project, the [M. Justin Herman] Plaza suffers some from its north orientation. Since the completion of the Embarcadero Center, the daytime crowd enlivens the space as do frequent craft markets and entertainment. The fountain by Armand Vaillancourt used to have the double-decker freeway as a backdrop. Now that the freeway is gone, the array of angular concrete forms can no longer be joked about as a stockpile of spare freeway parts. For the moment it seems overexposed.]]>

Butt-Millet Memorial Fountain
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: AlbinoFlea
@ 2006-02-27 20:24:47

From www.encyclopedia-titanica.org:

The 8-foot-high fountain is composed of a marble shaft of simple Neo-classical design rising from an octagonal basin of Tennessee marble. Today, the sculpture suffers from poor landscaping and proximity to roads. The sculpture on the fountain consists of two low-relief panels on the sides of the shaft. On the south side appears a military figure with sword and shield, representing Military Valour and Major Butt. On the north side is a relief panel containing the figure of an artist with palette and brush, representing Art and Francis Millet. Both Butt and Millet, so well known in Washington cultural and social circles at the time of their death, have been forgotten today.

This piece of commemorative art may serve many as an introduction to Francis Millet. Accompanying his surgeon father to the Civil War, Millet served as a drummer boy to a Massachusetts regiment and later served as a surgical assistant. A brilliant student at Harvard, he became a reporter, then city editor, of the Boston Courier. From a pastime of lithography and portraiture of friends, he decided to devote himself to art. Entering the Royal Academy of Fine Arts at Antwerp, Belgium, he won an unprecedented silver medal in his first year and a gold medal in the second. A constant traveller, Millet kept his newspaper contacts open, and during the Russian-Turkish War he represented with distinction several American and English newspapers. He was decorated by Russia and Rumania for bravery under fire and services to the wounded. Millet's literary talents led him to publish accounts of his travels and, besides writing short stories and essays, he translated Tolstoy's Sebastopol.

Millet's work as a decorative artist includes the murals of the Baltimore Customs House, Trinity Church of Boston, and the Capitol Buildings of Wisconsin and Minnesota. His paintings are found in the Metropolitan Museum, New York City, and the Tate Gallery, London. In addition, his administrative skills, won him acclaim as superintendent of decoration at the World's Colombian Exhibition in Chicago (1893), and as organizer of the American Federation of the Arts for the National Academy. At the memorial meeting for Millet, Senator Elihu Root said: "He must have been born with a sense of the beautiful and a love for it, for he devoted his life to it....He was one of the most unassuming and unselfish of men....He was a man of great strength and force, decision and executive capacity....He always pressed on to the accomplishment of his purposes, purposes in which self was always subordinate...."

Archibald Butt, noted as the influential military aide to President William Howard Taft and President Theodore Roosevelt, was born into a prominent Augusta, Georgia, family. After his graduation in 1888 from the University of the South in Tennessee, Butt began a career in journalism, first writing for the Louisville Courier Journal and later as a reporter in Washington for a group of Southern newspapers. While working in Washington he became secretary of the Mexican Embassy with General "Matt" Ransom, Confederate officer and former United States senator from North Carolina.

In 1898 Butt left Mexico to enter the United States army as a lieutenant during the Spanish-American War, and decided to make the military a second career. He served in the Philippines from 1900 to 1906, then in Cuba before becoming military aide to President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Butt's health began to deteriorate in 1912 because of his attempts to remain neutral during the bitter personal quarrel between Roosevelt and Taft. Needing rest, he took six weeks' leave from the White House and sailed for Europe with his close friend Francis Millet, who was en-route to Rome on business at the American Academy which he directed. They were returning to Washington on the SS (sic) Titanic when that ship struck an iceberg. Both men were last seen giving up their life preservers to women passengers shortly before the ship sank in the icy Atlantic waters.]]>

These fountains, built in 1967, clearly show the structure of the original rock; note the large, light-red crystals of the mineral feldspar. The fountains were constructed from blocks of the oldest rock in the United States‚ 3.5 billion years old.

Also, from the Washington Post:

Enid Annenberg Haupt, 99, a publishing heiress whose passion for the glories of nature inspired her to give millions of dollars in support of public gardens, horticultural institutions and other green spaces in Washington, New York and around the world, died Oct. 25 at her home in Greenwich, Conn. No cause of death was reported.

Mrs. Haupt, daughter of publisher Moses L. Annenberg and sister of publisher and philanthropist Walter H. Annenberg, also donated millions to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington and numerous other institutions.

Enid A. Haupt funded the Haupt Fountains on the Ellipse and made a gift of the four-acre garden on the south side of the Smithsonian Institution Castle.

By: AlbinoFlea
@ 2005-09-28 00:08:10

From http://www.usbg.gov/gardens/barthodli-park.cfm:

Frederic Auguste Bartholdi (1834-1904) created the fountain for the 1876 International Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. The design was based on a model he had created in 1867. Bartholdi was also working on his design for the Statue of Liberty at the same time. The fountain, cast in Paris by A. Durenne, was painted to look like bronze and placed at a focal point near the main entrance of the Exhibition grounds in Fairmount Park.

At the close of the Exhibition, the fountain was purchased for $6,000 (half of its estimated value) by the United States government at the suggestion of Frederick Law Olmsted, the famous landscape architect who designed the Capitol Grounds. It was moved to Washington, D.C., in 1877 and placed at the base of Capitol Hill near the center line of the Mall, on what was then the Botanic Garden grounds.

During the 1927 relocation of the Botanic Garden, the fountain was dismantled and stored. In 1932, it was re-erected in its present location. The park where the fountain stands was renamed in honor of Frederic Auguste Bartholdi in 1985.]]>

Located above the underground Senate garage, this fountain became operational in 1932, and is illuminated by lights which change colors throughout a 20 minute cycle.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/senate-garage-fountain-and-reflecting-pool/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/senate-garage-fountain-and-reflecting-pool/ Mon, 11 Jul 2005 12:07:24 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/senate-garage-fountain-and-reflecting-pool/ 38.89412300 -77.00898900 <![CDATA[Abu Dhabi volcano fountain]]>

The Volcano Fountain stands on the Corniche overlooked by apartment buildings on one side and the Gulf on the other. Designed with the conical shape of a volcano, hidden lights colour the water orange.

Update 2004: As part of the large scale redevelopment of the Corniche, the Volcano Fountain has been removed. Updated pictures of the Corniche will appear on this site when the work is completed.

It may or may not be the most beautiful fountain in Rome but it is without doubt the most famous. The imaginative concept, the theatrical composition, the sober and imposing beauty of the sculptured marble figures make it a true masterpiece both of sculpture and of architecture. Pietro da Cortona and above all Bernini, who began the undertaking, both had a hand in the project. The death of Pope Urban VIII brought work to a standstill and it was not until about a hundred years later that Clement XII entrusted the work to Nicola Salvi, who finished the undertaking between 1732 and 1751.
