The depicted CoA of Karel Eusebius z Lichtenštejna (Karl Eusebius, Prince of Liechtenstein) decorates Baroque Venetian-type fountain in French formal garden of Chateau Lednice (Zámek Lednice).

Beautiful highly decorative fountain in octagonal stone basin is fork of prominent Baroque architects and artists - Giovanni Giacomo Tencalla and Pietro Maino Maderno from 1635. Fountain, completely reconstructed in 2011-1012, is only preserved of original nine Baroque Chateau garden fountains in Lednice.

Karl Eusebius, Prince of Liechtenstein (September 12, 1611 – April 5, 1684) was the Prince of Liechtenstein. He inherited this title in 1627 from his father Karl I. He was 16 and thus considered underage and his uncles Prince Gundakar and Maximillian acted as regents until 1632. From 1639 to 1641 Karl was Chief Captain of High and Low Silesia. After the Thirty Years' War Karl did a meritous job of economically restoring his dominions. Karl was also an extensive patron of architecture of the period. [wiki]
