Danube Well (detail)

by DONNER, Georg Raphael, Lead-tin alloy, height 337 cm

The river Enns is personified by an old man. Making the sculpture quite independent, the artist softens the Baroque style with a typical Viennese taste for playful or elegiac sweetness. He looks forward to classicism and at the same time to Romantic sensitivity.
