Diana with greyhounds, Bronze sculpture in Humboldthain, Germany
Diana with Greyhounds is a bronze sculpture mounted on a sandstone base in the Rosengarten of Volkspark Humboldthain in Berlin. The artwork depicts the hunting goddess accompanied by her hounds in a public garden setting.
Walter Schott created this sculpture in 1926 during the Weimar Republic as part of Berlin's public art development. Following its destruction in World War II, the work was reconstructed in 1953.
The depiction of the Roman hunting goddess Diana shows classical mythological themes in German public art. The work connects the ancient deity with her hunting dogs and reflects interest in classical subjects during the 20th century.
The sculpture sits in the Rosengarten within Humboldthain park and is easily accessible from several park entrances on foot. The garden area around it is flat and suitable for a leisurely walk.
The postwar reconstruction shows how Berlin's art community systematically rebuilt works that were lost during conflict. Many sculptures from this era were never fully restored, making this reconstruction noteworthy.
