The Antonina Fountain (160-180 AD) has been restored to its full splendor after centuries of pouring water like a waterfall.

This fantastic monument shows us the power and prestige of the Roman Empire and the wealth and importance that the city of Sagalassos (Turkey) came to have. Between the s. I and III enjoyed great prosperity due to trade and its ceramic production.

Art Nouveau was the first pan-European style since Neo-classicism. Easily imitated, content free, and highly adaptable, the style was particularly appealing to private patrons uninterested in the politics of national styles that had characterized the various historical revivals of the 19th century.

The signature serpentine, coup de fouet gesture could devolve into spineless dither and filigree, however, and by the end of World War I, everyone agreed that the fin-de-siècle was over. In Europe, the various manifesto modernisms prevailed; Americans contented themselves with Art Deco, or, as Roy Lichtenstein put it, “modernism for the home.”
