English: Gustav Vigeland's statue of the Norwegian poet Henrik Wergeland (1808–45) was erected in 1908 in the Wergeland Park in the center of the en:Kristiansand, Norway. The sculpture was erected in connection with the 100th anniversary of his birth. Vigeland's inspiration for his rendition of Wergeland is said to have come from a few lines from the poem "Myself": "Glorious Evening Star! I bare my head. Like a crystal bath, your radiance descends upon it." In 1934 the statue was mounted on a new pedestal, and the wrought-iron fence was put in place.
Norsk bokmål: Gustav Vigelands statue av dikteren Henrik Wergeland (1808-45) reist 1908 i Wergelandsparken ved Øvre torv i sentrum av Kristiansand. Skulpturen, en gave fra Henrik Wergelands fødeby, ble reist i forbindelse med 100-års jubileet for hans fødsel. Motivet for Vigelands utforming av Wergeland skal ha vært noen linjer fra diktet «Mig Selv»: Herlige Aftenstjerne! Jeg blotter mit Hoved. Som et Krystalbad nedfalder din Glands derpaa. Først i 1934 ble statuen montert på ny sokkel og smijernsgitteret satt på plass. I dag forbindes først og fremst parken med Henrik Wergeland, men det er broren Oscar Wergeland som er opphav til navnet.
