Nuptial Fountain, Hoher Market Square, Vienna, Austria Editorial Photo

Pictured is the Nuptial Fountain in the center of Hoher Market Square, Vienna, Austria. In 1706 the original Nuptial Fountain was opened, designed by Johan Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The wooden construction did not last and by 1732 was rotted. The actual fountain you see in the picture was opened in 1732, with statues by the Venetian artist Antonio Corradini. There is a total of four basins, embracing the statues of Mary, Joseph and the High Priest. It is a wedding scene of Mary and Joseph, a very unusual motive in art.
