Wall fountain 1527 - 1534

This monumental wall fountain, crafted by Simone Mosca between 1527 and 1534, is a striking example of Renaissance architectural sculpture. The fountain's design incorporates classical elements like fluted columns, a sculpted pediment, and intricate carvings, while the central basin and the sculpted face of a lion below it evoke the source of the water. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the "Wall fountain" is a testament to Mosca's skill and the enduring appeal of classical design.
