30 Poseidon Statue by Carl Milles in Gothenburg, Sweden

This naked bronze statue of Poseidon is considered to be the protector of sailors. He is typically portrayed as an old man with a beard holding a trident. However, in this version, he is young and holding a fish in one hand and a shell in the other. This image of the Greek Olympian deity, who is the God of the Sea, has become the iconic symbol of Gothenburg. Created by Carl Milles in 1931, the sculpture stands 22 feet in a water fountain in front of the Gothenburg Museum of Art.
