About the Item

A Greco-Roman inspired vintage bronze fountain depicting a putto riding a dolphin. This Greco-Roman inspired vintage bronze fountain depicts a delightful scene of a chubby putto riding a dolphin, masterfully crafted using the traditional lost-wax technique, ensuring fine details and precision. The dynamic composition, featuring intertwining curves, brings the mythological theme to life. A symbol often found in Renaissance and 17th-century fountains, the playful putto is seen with a large fish strapped to his back as he opens the dolphin's mouth, capturing a sense of movement and whimsy. Boasting a dark, rich patina that enhances its classical appeal, this fountain embodies timeless elegance and would make an enchanting addition to any garden or outdoor space. Its Greco-Roman influence is a nod to ancient myths, where putti and dolphins were frequently associated with water and fertility. Whether placed by a pool, amidst a lush garden, or as a focal point in a courtyard, this bronze fountain brings both a sense of history and a lively, playful energy to its surroundings. With its graceful curves and intricate craftsmanship, this Greco-Roman style fountain offers not only aesthetic beauty but also a touch of mythological charm, making it an extraordinary decorative piece for any outdoor living area.
