Fountain of Diana of Ephesus, The Villa d'Este at Tivoli, Rome, Italy (photo)

The Villa was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este (1509–1572). The most famous fountain in the lower garden is the Fountain of Diana of Ephesus, also known as the Fountain of Mother Nature. This statue originally stood next to the Fountain of the Organ; it was moved to the lower garden by Allesandro d'Este in the 16th century. It was made by the Flemish sculptor Gillis van den Vliete in 1568, and modeled after a classical Roman statue of Diana of Ephesus from the second century, now in the National Museum of Naples. It stands in a grotto made of tartar flakes
