The Tyler Davidson Fountain, also known as "The Genius of Water," is an iconic landmark located in Fountain Square, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dedicated in 1871, the fountain was a gift to the city by Henry Probasco in memory of his brother-in-law, Tyler Davidson. Crafted in Munich, Germany, by sculptor August von Kreling, the fountain features a central bronze statue of a woman representing the spirit of water, with water flowing from her outstretched hands. Surrounding her are four smaller figures symbolizing the practical uses of water, such as agriculture and commerce.
