Muttergottesbrunnen, Religious fountain monument in Kornmarkt, Heidelberg, Germany.
The Muttergottesbrunnen features Saint Mary wearing a crown and holding a scepter while standing on a sphere with the Christ child in her arms.
Peter van den Branden created this fountain statue in 1718 during a period of religious transformation between Catholic and Protestant communities in Heidelberg.
The sculpture incorporates Latin inscriptions and religious symbolism, depicting Mary as the Queen of Heaven crushing a serpent beneath her feet.
The current statue is a replica made between 1938 and 1940, while the original piece remains protected in the Kurpfälzisches Museum.
Four putti figures support the globe beneath Mary's feet, from which light rays extend outward through the surrounding clouds.
