Georgsbrunnen (George Fountain) by Artur Volkmann, 1904
Dresdner Residenzschloss
Dresden, September 2024
“The Georgsbrunnen is a fountain created in 1904 [ 1 ] by Artur Volkmann in the small courtyard of the Dresden Residence Palace. Leipzig-born Artur Volkmann created the fountain in 1904 in his Rome workshop in memory of King George of Saxony, who died that same year. The commission was the Royal Saxon Ministry of the Interior. The design, exhibited at the Leipzig Art Association, had previously been unanimously recommended for execution by the academic council. The fountain was paid for with funds from the Saxon government's fund for art purposes. The fountain is located between two windows on the south side of the small courtyard of Dresden's Royal Palace. Damaged during the palace's destruction in World War II, it was reopened to the public during the palace's restoration in 2009.” (Georgsbrunnen, Wikipedia)
