Bethesda Terrace and Fountain
Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, Sandstone terrace and bronze fountain in Central Park, Manhattan, United States.
The two-level terrace features grand staircases leading to a central fountain crowned by an eight-foot bronze angel statue above a circular pool.
Architects Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted designed the terrace during Central Park's construction in 1858, completing the fountain installation in 1873.
Sculptor Emma Stebbins created the Angel of the Waters fountain, making her the first woman to receive a public art commission in New York City.
The terrace arcade provides shelter during rain and contains a ceiling with 16,000 restored Minton tiles arranged in geometric patterns.
Four cherubs beneath the angel represent temperance, purity, health, and peace, while water lilies encircle the fountain's base.
