Photograph by David Coleman. The Little Mermaid statue, one of Copenhagen's most famous landmarks, sits modestly on a rock by the Langelinie promenade. Created by sculptor Edvard Eriksen in 1913, this bronze figure was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tale of the same name. The statue depicts the mermaid in human form, having traded her tail for legs. Her posture, with her head slightly bowed and her gaze directed towards the water, captures a moment of wistful contemplation, embodying the melancholy and longing central to Andersen's story. Standing at just 1.25 meters (4.1 feet) tall, the statue's small size often surprises first-time visitors. However, its diminutive stature contributes to its charm and vulnerability, qualities that have endeared it to millions of visitors over the years. The Little Mermaid has become an iconic symbol of Copenhagen and Denmark, drawing tourists from around the world. Despite (or perhaps because of) its fame, the statue has been a frequent target of vandalism and political statements, necessitating several restorations over the decades. More than just a tourist attraction, the Little Mermaid represents Denmark's rich literary heritage and its connection to the sea. It stands as a tribute to Hans Christian Andersen's enduring influence on global culture and serves as a poignant reminder of the power of storytelling and imagination.
