Grundtvig og livskilden. Præsten og salmedigteren N.F.S. Grundtvig, knælende 1912 - 1914

Niels Skovgaard's "Grundtvig og livskilden" is a 1912-1914 sculpture of the Danish theologian and poet N.F.S. Grundtvig. The piece, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts Grundtvig kneeling on a base carved with figures and stylized foliage, suggesting a connection to nature and spirituality. The work is characterized by Skovgaard's distinctive style, a blend of realism and symbolism, which contributes to the powerful representation of a revered Danish figure. The statue, cast in plaster, stands as a testament to Grundtvig's enduring legacy.
