Wings, Bronze sculpture at National Museum, Stockholm, Sweden
The Wings sculpture stands 120 centimeters tall and features a patinated plaster design representing movement through stylized wing forms.
Carl Milles created this sculpture in 1907 upon returning to Sweden after working in Auguste Rodin's studio in Paris.
The sculpture draws inspiration from Greek mythology, specifically the narrative of Zeus and Ganymede, influencing Swedish cinema in 1918.
The sculpture belongs to the National Museum collection and requires regular maintenance to preserve its patinated surface against environmental factors.
The original plaster version changed ownership through an exchange between Carl Milles and artist Alf Wallander before being cast in bronze.
