"Designs from Fountains and Waterjets in the Italian Style" (French: "Dessins de plusieurs conduits de fontaines et de jets d'eau en l'Italienne") is a collection of engravings by the French artist and designer Jean Lepautre (1618–1682). Lepautre was renowned for his intricate and ornate designs, which were influential in the decorative arts during the 17th century, particularly in the Louis XIV style. This work is a testament to his skill in capturing the grandeur and elegance of Italian-style fountains and water features, which were highly fashionable among the French nobility and bourgeoisie.

The collection showcases a variety of fountain and waterjet designs, reflecting the Baroque aesthetic of the time with its emphasis on movement, drama, and lavish ornamentation. Lepautre's engravings would have served as a source of inspiration for architects, garden designers, and craftsmen involved in creating water features for the gardens of chateaux and palaces. The designs are characterized by their elaborate compositions, featuring mythological figures, cherubs, and naturalistic elements such as shells and foliage, integrated into the architectural structures of the fountains.

Jean Lepautre's work was part of a larger European trend of publishing design books, which allowed for the dissemination of artistic ideas and motifs across the continent. "Designs from Fountains and Waterjets in the Italian Style" not only reflects Lepautre's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the cultural exchange between France and Italy and the influence of Italian art on French garden design during the 17th century. The collection remains an important historical record of Baroque design principles and continues to be studied by those interested in the history of garden and landscape architecture, as well as the decorative arts.
