About this audio guide
This guide to the Neptune fountain in Nuremberg's Stadtpark starts with a bronze sea god, his winged sea horses and dragon-riding putti, cast in the 1660s as a peace monument after the Thirty Years' War. It follows the design to the Russian court and back again, and introduces Ludwig Gerngros, the merchant who paid for a copy and attached a single condition to the gift. Best heard standing at the edge of the basin, looking up at the figures.
