Fountain Vigeland Park Oslo Norway


The Sculpture Park contains 192 sculptures with more than 600 figures all modeled in full size by Gustav Vigeland without the assistance of pupils or other artists during a period that began in 1907 and ended with his death in 1943 The Fountain is the earliest sculpture unit in the park In the center of the basin six giants hold the large saucer shaped vessel aloft and from it a curtain of water spills down around them The men representing different ages may be interpreted as toiling with the burden of life Twenty tree groups on the surrounding parapet symbolize the tree of life
