Solsångaren, Bronze sculpture in Gamla stan, Sweden
The Solsångaren statue depicts a young boy standing with one leg forward while looking up at the moon in Helgeandsholmen district of Stockholm.
Swedish sculptor Carl Milles created this bronze statue in 1926, during a period when he received recognition for his public art installations throughout Sweden.
The statue represents the connection between youth and celestial elements, following the Swedish artistic tradition of incorporating natural elements into public sculptures.
Visitors can find the Solsångaren statue near the Swedish Parliament House in Gamla stan, accessible via the Gamla stan metro station.
The green patina covering the 91-centimeter bronze statue changes its appearance throughout the day as sunlight moves across its surface.
