dc.descriptionDetail, base and leg of the bull; Modeled after the Greek myth, this sculpture depicts Europa, the daughter of a king of Phoenicia. According to the legend, Zeus transformed himself into a white bull and carried her away to the island of Crete. In 1921, Carl Milles was commissioned to make a proposal for a town fountain for the square in Halmstad Sweden. Five years later the fountain was completed, with the central sculpture of Europa and the Bull. The sculpture exists in multiple casts including one at Millesgården and one at the University of Tennesee. Milles was a professor at Cranbrook from 1931 to 1950. Cast purchased by Cranbook, 1935.
