Diana Fountain, Bronze fountain in Bushy Park, England
The Diana Fountain features a central gilded statue surrounded by four pairs of mermaids and boys within a 400-foot diameter pool.
Created in the 1630s for Somerset House, the fountain moved to Hampton Court Palace before finding its place in Bushy Park in 1713.
The central figure represents either Diana or Arethusa, reflecting the period's interest in classical mythology and Renaissance artistic traditions.
The fountain forms a traffic island along Chestnut Avenue, marking the ceremonial approach toward Hampton Court Palace from the north.
During World War II, the drained fountain pool area became part of Camp Griffiss, where military leaders planned the D-Day operations.
