Carved Marble Fountain Curb with Aquatic Bestiary, 19th Century
Dimensions
Width 9'' ½ 24cm
Height 43'' ¼ 110cm
Depth: 53'' ½ 136cm
This sculpted marble fountain curb is decorated with an aquatic motif. Symmetrically arranged on either side of the curb are a crayfish, a carp and a dolphin. The staircase-like composition of the stylised waves punctuated by alternating shells offers the viewer three distinct scenes. In turn, we discover a crayfish clinging to a rock above the waves, a carp swimming upstream and a dolphin being carried along by the tide.
This dynamic, elegant ensemble is set against the backdrop of an artificial grotto or garden grotto. These creations were extremely popular during the Renaissance, and were once again in demand in the 19th century.
