Font de Diana, Marble fountain at Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, Barcelona, Spain.
The Font de Diana features a marble figure of the Roman goddess Diana wearing a tunic, positioned in a contemplative hunting stance.
Originally presented at the 1898 Fine Arts Exhibition with a nude design, municipal authorities required modifications to add clothing to the statue in 1913.
The fountain represents the intersection of classical mythology and urban development in Barcelona through its portrayal of Diana, goddess of hunting.
Located at the intersection of Gran Via and Roger de Llúria, the fountain stands near multiple public transportation options and central shopping areas.
The sculpture employs the contrapposto technique to create movement, depicting Diana in the moment before capturing her prey.
