⛲ Man with Fish

Man with Fish is an outdoor fountain and sculpture installed outside Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, in the U.S. state of Illinois. The statue was donated to the aquarium by William N. Sick in recognition of his wife, Stephanie. Designed and sculpted by the German sculptor Stephan Balkenhol in 2001, the statue depicts an expressionless man standing in a shallow pond, hugging a giant fish with water spouting from its mouth. The water from the fountain falls into a reflecting pool decorated with vibrant images of marine life. It is 16 feet tall and made of painted bronze.
