SUMMARY:

The object of this research is a 19th century fountain in cast iron from the Fonderies Val d'Osne, in France, and installed in São João del-Rei in 1887. Traditionally known as “fountain of the goddess Ceres”, this piece brings an allegory of summer (L'Été) and is characteristic of the conquests and technological progress arising from the Industrial Revolution from the 19th century onwards. The fountain is a material example that brings together the aesthetic and functional aspects resulting from the alliance between the arts and the French decorative foundry industries, standardized mechanics and serial production. Through a historical, formal and iconographic analysis, I try to understand both the materiality of this work and its meanings. Installed in the city during the first urban reforms and after the demolition of colonial fountains, the fountain was the product that represented the influence of a Belle Époque modernity and the desire to build the image of a modern and civilized city.
