Bellmansbysten, Bronze sculpture in Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden
The sculpture presents a detailed bronze bust of Carl Michael Bellman mounted on a tall granite pedestal with an engraved name and lyre symbol.
King Karl XIV Johan unveiled the Bellmansbysten on July 26, 1829, in the presence of thousands of spectators, including Bellman's widow Lovisa and son Adolf.
Johan Niclas Byström created this representation based on Johan Tobias Sergel's 1787 medallion and Per Krafft's portrait of the Swedish poet.
The sculpture stands in a public area of Djurgården, near Bellmansro and Oakhill, allowing visitors to examine the neoclassical features of the artwork.
Every July 26th since 1829, the site transforms into a celebration point for Bellmansdagen, commemorating the unveiling date of this memorial statue.
