Donnerbrunnen, Baroque fountain at Neuer Markt, Austria
The Donnerbrunnen features a reclining Providentia statue surrounded by figures representing Austrian rivers Traun, Enns, Ybbs, and March at its base.
The fountain, completed in 1739 under city orders, represents a departure from traditional noble and church-commissioned artworks of the period.
The central figures depict Traun as a young man with trident, Enns as an elderly ferryman, and female representations of Ybbs and March.
The fountain stands in central Vienna near Stephansplatz and Karlsplatz subway stations, adjacent to the Capuchin Church and Imperial Crypt.
The original lead statues from 1739 were replaced with bronze replicas in 1873 and now reside in the Lower Belvedere Palace.
