This court is open for dining during the summer months..

Fountain of the Tritons..

Sculptor: Carl Milles..

Monument to commemorate John Ericsson

and other Swedish

Americans. Ericsson created the "Monitor", the

first iron-clad turret ship, which did battle with the Merrimack in the

Civil War

The book Chicago's Public Sculpture by Ira J. Bach and Mary Lackritz Gray, has some interesting observation on the artist and this sculpture fountain:

“Although Milles studies in Paris, where Auguste

Rodin was one of his teachers, his

fountains and memorials in his

native Sweden and in the US represent

a conscious departure from the

naturalism that dominated

sculpture at the turn of the century...”

“Although Milles studies in Paris, where Auguste

Rodin was one of his teachers, his

fountains and memorials in his native Sweden and in the US represent a conscious

departure from the naturalism that dominated sculpture at the

turn of the century...”

“They reflect the artists independent

spirit, his appreciation of

classical and Gothic sculptures and his very strong Nordic

roots...”

“These qualities are seen in the way

Milles imbued his rather elongated

and stylized Tritons, characters from

Greek mythology, with the spirit of

water deities from Scandinavian chronicles...”

Carl Milles (1875-1955) was a Swedish sculptor, best known for his fountains.
