Description |
Strength is represented as fortitudo, one of the cardinal virtues. She wears armor and helmet, embraces a damaged column with her right arm and has placed her left foot on the chipped capital. The statue, created in the studio of Hans Gieng, amazes with its plastic qualities and expressiveness. Gieng designed this figure after a woodcut by Hans Burgkmair. |

Object history | In 1963-1964, the entire Strenght fountain was overhauled. In the process, the fountain figure and the column shaft were transferred to the Fribourg Museum of Art and History. Théo Aeby created a copy of the statue and the column. This copy has since been on display at its original location on Escaliers du Court-Chemin in the lower town of Fribourg. | |||||||||||||||||||
