Global InformationAgnete and the Merman information
Agnete and the Merman is a group of bronze sculptures in Copenhagen, Denmark, located underwater in the Slotsholm Canal next to the Højbro Bridge. It has been referred to as one of the least-known works of art in Copenhagen.[1] The sculptures were made in 1992 by the Danish sculptor, photographer, and author, Suste Bonnen.[2] They portray a merman and his seven sons with outstretched arms, begging Agnete to return home.[3] Three other sculptures of merfolk are located in Copenhagen: the "Black Diamond Mermaid", a copy of Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s 1921 statue; a large (15-foot) granite mermaid[4] located on the port-of-call cruise ship dock in Copenhagen; and the famous Little Mermaid statue, located on the water’s edge along Langelinie promenade.
