Cheap Wall Art | Printable Wall Art - New York City (NYC) - Bethesda Fountain

The Bethesda Fountain in New York City is a beautiful place. It depicts the Angel of Water, who stands above four water beasts representing sea creatures and it has an inscription from The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare: "So shines a good deed in this naughty world."

The historic Bethesda fountain located at Central Park in NYC is absolutely gorgeous! This angel statue represents some kind of goddess with her hands open to release fresh running waters into 4 basins that also have symbols for each season engraved on them which are supported by 4 classy lion sculptures standing vigil next to their respective seasons. Also inscribed around these statues (in English) reads “SO SHINES A GOOD DEED IN THIS NAUGHTY WORLD”.
