Title
Fountain of the Strength at the Escalier du Court-Chemin in Fribourg
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.
Date 1549―1550 (sculpture}
Dimensions

height oft the statue 138 cm (54.3 in)
height of the composite capital 45 cm (17.7 in)

height of the shaft 116 cm (45.6 in)
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.
