New York’s Central Park celebrates the 150th anniversary of its angel: The bronze statue “Angel of the Waters” (Angel over the Waters), the first public work by a woman in New York, was installed as a central figure on May 31, 1873 in the fountain Bethesda Fountain unveiled.
American sculptor Emma Stebbins (1815-1882) was commissioned by the City of New York for the sculpture – the first to go to an artist rather than an artist. The figure, about three meters high, represents a winged angel in a long dress, holding a lily in his left hand and blessing with his right. Stebbins worked on the statue in Rome and had it made in Munich, among other places.
150 years later, the location of the fountain, the so-called Bethesda Terrace in the middle of Central Park on a lake, is world famous: countless films and television series have been filmed, and hundreds of tourists visit the “Angel of Central Park” every day and take pictures of it. himself for it (sda/dpa)
