This marble fountain sculpture in the style of Tulio Lombardo embodies the glory of Renaissance sculpture. Reminiscent of classical portrait busts, a bearded man's face serves as the focal point of the fountain, and a sumptuously carved and decorated Grecian urn balances on the crown of his head. The figure's calm countenance features an open mouth from which streams of water would flow. Public fountains such as these are a timeless symbol of Italy's rich culture and history and remain active and effective means of bringing safe drinking water to people walking about Rome. The fountain's fully restored pipe allows it to be just as functional today as it would have been during its tenure in a 17th-century Roman plaza.
Born in Venice around 1455, Tulio Lombardo was an esteemed Italian Renaissance sculptor. Renowned for his innovative approach to classical forms, he imbued his creations with a distinct Venetian sensibility. Lombardo's sculptures exhibit a remarkable blend of grace, proportion and meticulous attention to detail, aligning his Renaissance ideals. A master of marble sculpture, the artist erected the famed funerary monument of Doge Andrea Vendramin in the Basilica di San Giovanni e Paolo in 1493. Through his contributions, Tullio Lombardo enriched the Venetian artistic tradition and the Renaissance more broadly, leaving an enduring legacy.
