Bronze Greco Roman Inspired Fountain Depicting Three Nymphs Holding a Clamshell
About the Item
A Greco-Roman inspired lost wax cast bronze fountain depicting three nymphs holding a large shell above their heads. Delve into the ethereal beauty of this Greco-Roman inspired bronze fountain, showcasing the aesthetic precision of the lost-wax casting technique. The verdigris patina adds an antique allure, making this fountain a timeless addition to any setting.
Center stage are three graceful nymphs, their bodies contorted in an elegant torsion. They hoist a sizable shell above their heads, designed to cascade water over their exquisite forms. The cascading water enhances the aesthetic appeal while offering a soothing ambiance, making this a functional work of art.
Their adornment mirrors the classical period, with bare chests and long hair gracefully held back by a simple band. Draped fabric, tied with a medallion on their hips, cloaks their lower bodies. The meticulous attention to the folds in the fabric speaks volumes about the undeniable craftsmanship that went into this piece.
Tubed and ready to function as a fountain, this bronze group brings together the mystical allure of mythology and the soothing charm of flowing water. It not only uplifts any outdoor setting but also adds a dash of history and culture, making it a valuable asset for collectors and art connoisseurs alike. An homage to ancient mythology, the fountain carries a timeless appeal that never ceases to enchant.

- 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
