BRONZE FOUNTAIN


The present green-patinated bronze fountain is an important historicist interpretation of the celebrated Fontana del Bacchino created by the Florentine sculptor Ferdinando Tacca for the city of Prato in the seventeenth century. Through its monumental scale, exuberant decoration, and ornamental vocabulary inspired by the Florentine Renaissance and Tuscan Baroque, this work belongs to the Italian Neo-Renaissance taste that enjoyed tremendous success during the second half of the nineteenth century, particularly in Florence, then a major center for art casting and for the reproduction of prestigious historical models.
