“Was she based on a real person?” a curious voice always seems to ask, right here in front of La Petite Sirene. This sculpture, crafted from 50 steel plates, isn’t your typical mermaid. She’s a minimalist silhouette, a stark departure from the curvy bronze figure gracing Copenhagen’s harbor. La Petite Sirene stands as a tribute to both Hans Christian Andersen’s famous tale and the iconic statue by Edvard Eriksen in Copenhagen. Presented to Prince Rainier III in 1999 by the Danish Association of Monaco, she marks a unique bond between Monaco and Denmark. This intriguing lady might not have the classic mermaid curves, but her presence here stirs up just as many questions and whispers as her famous counterpart across the continent.
Fontaine globe Sculpture
“And Clean” in Latin. It’s the name of the sculpture. A bronze hand on a globe, pointing towards the sky.
