    I know it's not the same, but it reminds me very much of a fountain I saw at Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna.[​IMG]

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. I felt it looked pretty darn similar.

    Has to be, unless some noble had a copy made for their property. Wonder if they have relandscaped or is the alley of trees in the plate's background artistic license?

    I'm making myself crazy trying to identify the main figure. Personifications of rivers look something like this guy, but no wings & usually a jar tipped over with water flowing out. He looks a lot like Chronos, Time, except he does not have the scythe or hourglass (or I'm not seeing?) Is this yours? Can you describe what he has next to him/what his hands are doing?

    Maybe this is him in his period of banishment. And, after all, it is a fountain. :)
