Music of the Rivers - Fountain of Musicians

The source of inspiration for this group was Bernini´s "Fountain of the Rivers" on Piazza Navona in Rome. Like Bernini, Anna Chromy is obsessed with the "sonority" of her sculptures (e.g. the "Sound of Bronze"), a feeling which she perfectly expressed in her "Music of the Rivers". This is in fact the original title of the fountain installed in Prague and which was renamed in honor of the unique musicality of the inhabitants of this city. In the "Music of the Rivers" each character with his instrument stands for one of the famous rivers of the world - the violin for the Danube, the trumpet for the Mississippi, the flute for the Amazone with its sources in the Andes, and the string instrument for the Ganges.
