The Foreign Press Association | Hardly a landmark is delicate The Foreign Pressee.V.
It is regarded as one of the smallest landmarks in the world. Only 175 kilograms and is 1.25 meters tall is the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen. Not only the capital, but the whole Danish nation doing so identified with the sympathetic figure. For 38 percent of Danes, it is the national icon. This is after a relative majority. So that it points so typical of Denmark thatched colorful half-timbered houses, red letterboxes d282 of Post Danmark and Rød pølse - which is also red hot dog sausages, which once wanted to ban the EC - to the places.
Owes its existence d282 to the Little Mermaid ballet visit. 1909 visited Carl Jacobsen, the greatest patron of the arts of the Kingdom as well as the son and successor of the founder of the Danish brewery "Carlsberg", Jacob Christian Jacobsen, the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen a ballet performance of Hans Beck after Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid". In the main and title character prima ballerina Ellen Price was seen. From this performance Jacobsen was so impressed that he commissioned the sculptor Edward Eriksen d282 therefore, to make the mermaid. For the face Ellen Price was there model for the bare upper body, the wife of the artist.
The client was looking for a Fin like a mermaid, the artist for two legs like a woman. Authentic both would have been, because Andersen's d282 Little Mermaid convenient to administer a trunk that can grow her in place of her fishtail legs in the fairy tale of the hunt for a prince of the sea witch. The compromise is, after all, that we agree with the statue on the stage of conversion, what the Little Mermaid can be a hybrid between mermaid and woman. Although she has legs, but they end instead of feet in small fins.
1911 is the clay model ready to be cast in bronze. Now ignites between Jacobsen and Eriksen, a dispute over the location. The client envisions a sweet variant. He wants to see the figure surrounded by flowers d282 on a pond. The artist, however, tends to indicates a location on the open sea. He can point out that it is, after all, not a sea and a mermaid, the most graceful and youngest daughter of the Sea King, as it is written in the fairy tale.
The artist has the argument of authenticity on his side and eventually prevails. On 23 August 1913 is set up the Little Mermaid at the 1900 completed waterfront long line at the entrance to the harbor entrance.
Rarely such a comparatively small work of art in public space has become such a great importance d282 to the nation and public attention. Perhaps this is the underlying reason that repeatedly see compelled people to lay hands on the Little Mermaid: 1961 it is defaced with a painted bikini 1963 on poured it with color, 1964 she is the head sawed off, 1984 will be off her right arm, and again in 1998 the head. Finally, in 2003 it was blown up from the base and pushed into the sea.
How good that still use the original plaster figures are available, so that if need be stolen or destroyed parts can be reproduced. Especially because of the small size of the artwork, it would be a shame if the authorities would learn from the incidents the consequence to put the Little Mermaid from the shore into the sea where it seems safer from the people. This can be apart from her many admirers who drives it to her year after year, be yourself and not in the sense of the little mermaid. After all, she's gone deliberately out of the sea on land, because of love. Who does not believe it read by Hans Christian Andersen.
