Twin Fountains of Diana, Two Cities: The Dianabrunnen of Carl Milles

Carl Milles' Dianabrunnen exists in two forms: one in Tengbom's Stockholm palace, and another in Tomelilla, a town named after Milles himself. Created twice (in 1927-1928 and 1929-1930), each version presents a unique creation. The first, found in Stockholm, was commissioned by Ivar Kreuger for the Tengbom-designed Tändstickspalatset. Together, Milles and Tengbom created a synergistic garden, elevating Dianabrunnen to facilitate viewing from all perspectives. The base, beautifully adorned with upward-straining plants, adds a touch of lightness. The second sculpture, located in Tomelilla, carries the same name as the original – Dianabrunnen. Milles generously donated it after learning that a street would be named in his honour, in memory of his participation in the Tomelilla Exhibition.
