Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pan and the Nymphs Fountain. Kansas City. Formerly in lead at Moreton Paddox, Kineton, Warwickshire, England. First re-located in East 47th Street, Kansas City, U.S.A. 14 ft. long, 13 ft. high, 9 ft. 9 ins. wide. This 10,000-pound lead sculpture was purchased by the Nichols Company in 1960 and found its current home in 1969 in the centre of Chandler Court 4701 Wyandotte Street. Made for Major Robert Emmet of Moreton Paddox. Concept and design by Walter Gilbert. Modelling by Louis Weingartner. Execution by The Bromsgrove Guild. Gilbert's own caption (in "Sculpture in the Garden") runs: "Pan the great god of the countryside (the atmosphere) being courted by the Nymphs of the Gardens, the Orchards, the Streams and the Woods. Pan looks down rather cynically because he knows that the nymphs do not always fulfil their promises. The gardens do not always flower, the streams run dry, the orchards bear no fruits and the trees without shade." http://pdfcast.org/pdf/an-inventory-of-the-works-of-walter-gilbert-by-phillip-medhurst
