Ностальгія Австрії за булою величчю Nostalgia for Austria's former greatness

Rating 8110

This elegant but rather monumental composition makes you think about the variability of history, as previously the Austrian Empire was one of the leading players on the world stage, had access to the sea and ruled the destinies of European nations, not without reason called the empire. The feeling is exacerbated by the fact that there is a pair of fountains "Austrian domination on land". The fountain is a sculptural composition that protrudes from the niche of the semicircle of the wall.
The composition consists of fragments of rock, above which the ship's bow rises, and on it stands a naked female figure symbolizing Austria. The right hand of the mistress froze in the steering gesture, and the left holds the rudder, guiding the ship. On the stone ledges are sea creatures and monsters, ready to stop the path of a strong ship, but they are obedient to the will of this ruler, in whose graceful figure, according to urban legends, at the same time glorifies the beauty of Viennese women.
