Corning Fountain, Bronze fountain in Bushnell Park, Hartford, US
The Corning Fountain stands 30 feet tall with a granite base and features a central stag figure surrounded by four native maidens at its upper level.
John J. Corning commissioned the fountain in 1899 as a memorial to his father, John B. Corning, a successful Hartford merchant and real estate investor.
The fountain incorporates sculptures of four Saukiog tribe members at its base, each depicting different aspects of Native American life and settler interactions.
The fountain contains multiple water spouts through decorative lion heads at the lower basin, creating water flows into a large concrete collection pool.
Scottish sculptor John Massey Rhind designed the two-tiered structure with bronze figures representing both Native American traditions and Hartford's municipal symbol.
