    Donner Fountain, Neuer Markt, Vienna
    Donner Fountain at Neuer Markt
    The fountain was commissioned by the City of Vienna between 1737 and 1739 by Georg Raphael Donner (the first public commission of a secular nature to decorate a square in Vienna). For the figures at the edge of the basin – symbolizing the rivers Traun (young man), Enns (old man), March, and Ybbs (female figures) – Donner created only the models; the execution was the responsibility of Johann Nikolaus Moll. In the center of the basin is the figure of Providentia (Providence), with four putti at the base.

    The whole square will be redesigned and the old fountain will shine in new splendor.

    In its place, the city of Vienna had a fountain complex built in 1737-1739, for which Donner received the commission. Originally, Lorenzo Mattielli had been chosen as the sculptor, but Donner managed to prevail with his offer to create the figures for the same price of 600 guilders.
