Great Fountain in Vigeland Sculpture Park, Bronze fountain in Frogner Park, Norway.
The Great Fountain features numerous bronze sculptures surrounding a central pool, forming intricate water patterns through multiple troughs and basins.
Gustav Vigeland dedicated over forty years to creating this fountain as part of his extensive sculpture collection between 1906 and 1947.
The fountain sculptures depict human forms in various positions, representing different phases of life through detailed bronze figures.
The fountain stands in an accessible area of the park with paved pathways, allowing visitors to observe it from multiple angles throughout the year.
Each water trough contains individual sculptural elements that connect to form a narrative sequence about human relationships and life cycles.
