Fountain-monument to the Good Genius

Fountain to the Good Genius, Aivazovsky Fountain
Crimea, Feodosiya
The fountain-monument to the "Good Genius" was opened in 2004 on the day of the city in memory of the outstanding artist I. K. Aivazovsky. Earlier, at the end of the 19th century, there was another fountain in this place, a bronze female figure was installed on its pedestal, which held a shell in her hands. Anna Nikitichna, the wife of the artist I.K. Aivazovsky, was recognizable in the bronze figure. On the side of the bronze figure was a palette with the inscription "To the good genius." During the Second World War, the monument disappeared. The subsequent fate of the monument is unknown. The new fountain was built at the expense of the city council with the support of the mayor of the city, the author of the monument was the Feodosia sculptor Valery Zamekhovsky.

A reminder that it's not enough to just be a genius. You have to remain human. Aivazovsky did a lot for Feodosia. And as a thank you, now this city is filled with monuments in his honor. As a symbol, the place is good, but as a landmark, pardon the expression, it is wretched. No order, no order, no neatness.
