| Introduction |
|
Water Nymphs is one of five fountains Viktor Jansson created between 1940-44. Water Nymphs, also known as Play', was commissioned by the City of Helsinki to enhance the eastern small water pool near the Kappeli restaurant situated in Esplanadi park in 1942. In an articulate and elegant Classicist style, the work depicts two water nymphs, or mermaids, playing on the waves with a fish. Viktor Jansson's (1886-1958) daughter Tove, the renowned author of the 'Moomin' books, modelled for the larger nymph. Water Nymphs is made of bronze and is 115 cm in height. |
