Statyn Poseidon, Göteborg

Описание: Statyn Poseidon in Göteborg.
Poseidon with wells or just Poseidon is a bronze sculpture that stands on the Gothenburg square in Gothenburg . The sculpture, which represents the sea god Poseidon, was created by Carl Milles and was inaugurated in 1931. It is one of Gothenburg's most famous landmarks. The seven-foot-tall Poseidon stands in a counterpost position on a worm-shaped elevation in the well. Below the waterline, or just above the surface, in the well can be algae, lobster, crab, fish, corals, sea shells and mussels. In the right hand Poseidon holds a water-spraying fish and in the left a seashell. On his head he has a stylized clam. In the well can be found six smaller sculptures and reliefs with various marvels , tritones , najads , fish and mermaids . The well vessel is 120 cm high and the poseidon sculpture itself is another 7 meters high. The statue was originally supposed to be called Neptune , the Roman name of the god of the sea. The well was made at Herman Bergman's bronze foundry in Stockholm, but the middle groups with the Poseidon sculpture were cast at Lauritz Rasmussen's Broncestøberi in Copenhagen .
