Vintage Greco-Roman Style Cast Bronze Fountain with Nymph, Tritons and Putti
About the Item
A vintage tall lost wax cast bronze Greco-Roman style fountain from the mid 20th century, depicting a nymph with cornucopia, tritons and cherubs. Created with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) that allows a great precision and finesse in the details, this bronze fountain captures our attention with its great proportions and ornate conception. Tall and slim, it is topped with the depiction of a nymph raising a cornucopia in her right hand, a symbol of abundance. The bowl on which she stands is slightly not level and is supported by three young tritons resting on another bowl, this one flanked with rams' heads. The lower section completes the ensemble beautifully with the putti holding fish and bouquets of flowers, their feet leading our eyes to striking dolphins. With its skillful depiction and dark patina, this Greco Roman style fountain will be an excellent addition to any garden!

- Lost-Wax Cast Bronze Fountain Depicting Three Putti Holding a Shell in a BasinLocated in Yonkers, NYA contemporary cast bronze garden fountain with three putti holding a shell in a self-contained basin. Featuring a classical theme drawn from the Greco-Roman mythology, this charming bronze fountain features three lively putti climbing on one another's shoulders to elevate a textured shell. Cast with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) allowing great precision in the details, the putti attract all of our attention with their cheerful attitudes. The smoothness of their bodies contrasts beautifully with the darker and rougher aspect of the basin, as well as their hair. They are wrapped in delicate cloth, that is flapping in the wind as they are making their movement upwards. Their gentle progression, from leaning on the basin to extending their arms upwards, creates the perfect counterpoint to the horizontal aspect of the basin. With its classical theme, lovely bronze patina and contrasting textures, this 21st century cast bronze fountain...Category
