点评:On our way to the lovely Fjäderholmarna Islands, we always enjoy seeing this spectacular fountain from the boat. It is called ‘Gud Fader på himmelsbågen’ or ‘Gud Fader på Regnbågen’ (God the Father on the Rainbow or on the Celestial Arch). A strong jet of water is gushing from the end of a very high parabolic arch in stainless steel, completing the curve. A bronze male figure (the Lord) is standing upright at the very end on the arch with his arms stretched upwards to add new stars to the firmament. At the foot of the arch, a winged angel is looking up, ready to hand him more stars. In his present location, the symbolic meaning of the sculpture is lost. Swedish sculptor Carl Milles (1875-1955) designed it in 1946 as a peace monument and a tribute to the establishment of the United Nations, to be placed in front of the UN building in New York. But is never materialized. In 1995, Milles’ former American student, Marshall M. Fredericks (1908-1998), was commissioned to complete the design. It was cast in stainless steel and bronze in Stockholm and installed on the pier at Nacka Strand near Stockholm, where it is visible from passing boats. It always makes for surprising pictures.

Fredericks,1908-1998)受委托完成设计。雕塑在斯德哥尔摩以不锈钢和青铜铸造,并安放在斯德哥尔摩附近纳卡斯特兰德(Nacka Strand)的码头上,从过往船只上都能看到它。它总能拍出令人惊喜的照片。
