A highly celebrated work, the quintessential example among Italian medieval fountains.
Fontana Maggiore的点评
点评：This fountain stands as an absolute masterpiece among Italian medieval fountains. While the “Fonte Gaia” in the Campo of Siena might have once been a rival, it has since been entirely replaced by a copy, one that is clearly identifiable as such. The “Fontana Grande” in Viterbo is sometimes mentioned; although older (dating to 1212), its sculptural decoration is far less elaborate than that of this fountain. In short, a traveler observing the Fontana Maggiore should not expect to find anything else that truly compares to it.
Two great artists contributed to this fountain: Nicola Pisano (for whom this was the final work) and his son, Giovanni Pisano. Fra’ Bevignate also participated in the design: a figure likewise known for his architectural work on the Cathedral of Orvieto, as well as on the Cathedral of Perugia, which stands opposite the fountain.
The upper basin is divided into 24 plain panels, with the corners between them taking the form of sculptures. These — likely all the work of Giovanni Pisano — depict allegorical figures (such as Victory, Theology, the Roman Church, and various nymphs), as well as, most notably, prophets.
The 24 panels of the lower basin, by contrast, are carved with figures: two scenes per panel, totaling 48 in all. These depict the characteristic labors associated with each of the twelve months of the year (a very common motif in medieval sculpture), alongside the seven liberal arts, episodes from the origins of Rome, scenes from the Old Testament, and two of Aesop’s fables.
The entire work is executed with great mastery and formal rigor.
Finally, we must not overlook the fact that the fountain is a masterpiece from the perspective of hydraulic engineering as well. Its primary designer, Boninsegna of Venice, created a four-kilometer-long conduit that — drawing from the springs of Monte Pacciano — utilizes the principle of communicating vessels to transport water under pressure to the fountain, with the final stretch of piping even running uphill.

翻译：这座喷泉堪称意大利中世纪喷泉中的绝对杰作。虽然锡耶纳广场上的“欢乐之泉”曾可能与之相匹敌，但如今它已被一座明显能被认出是复制品的喷泉所取代。维泰博的“大喷泉”偶尔也会被提及；尽管其历史更为悠久（建于1212年），但其雕塑装饰远不如这座喷泉精美。简而言之。任何游客在观赏丰塔纳·马焦雷喷泉时，都不应指望能找到与其相媲美的其他作品。
有两位伟大的艺术家为这座喷泉倾注了心血：尼古拉·皮萨诺（这是他的最后一部作品）和他的儿子乔瓦尼·皮萨诺。弗拉·贝维尼亚特也参与了设计工作——他同样以在奥尔维托大教堂以及喷泉对面的佩鲁贾大教堂的设计工作而闻名。
喷泉的上层水池被划分为24块素面石板。这些转角处则呈现出雕塑的形式。这些雕塑——很可能均为乔瓦尼·皮萨诺的作品——刻画了各种寓意性人物（如胜利女神、神学、罗马教会以及各类宁芙女神），其中最引人注目的则是众先知。
相比之下，下层水池的24块镶板则雕刻着人物形象：每块镶板上有两个场景，总数达48个。这些场景描绘了与一年中十二个月相对应的典型劳作场景（这是中世纪雕塑中极为常见的主题）。除了七种自由艺术外，还有罗马建城的传说、旧约中的场景，以及两则伊索寓言。整件作品以极高的技艺与严谨的形式呈现。最后，我们绝不能忽视的是，从水利工程的角度来看，这座喷泉同样是一件杰作。其主要设计者便是威尼斯的博尼塞尼亚。他们修建了一条长达四公里的输水管道，该管道利用蒙特帕恰诺山的泉水，依据连通器原理在压力下将水输送至喷泉处；管道的最后一段甚至是沿着上坡路铺设的。
