Mod lyset, Bronze monument in Amorparken, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The monument features a standing man reaching upwards on a granite block, surrounded by three seated women extending their arms toward light.
Sculptor Rudolph Tegner created this monument in 1909 to honor Doctor Niels Finsen, who received the Nobel Prize for his light therapy discoveries.
The sculpture represents the human connection with light, reflecting the scientific understanding of light treatment in early twentieth-century Danish medicine.
The monument stands at the intersection of Blegdamsvej and Tagensvej, near Rigshospitalet, with direct access from the Rigshospitalet Syd bus station.
The bronze figures were cast by royal bronzesmith Lauritz Rasmussen, with an inscription on the granite base commemorating Niels Finsen's dates.
