Europa and The Bull

Europa and The Bull, Breisach, Germany

The artist Helmut Lutz, from Breisach am Rhein, created this striking statue of a bronze bull seemingly bursting through the bricks of Cathedral Square in 2000. On the bull’s back, a nude woman stands reaching for a star.

Based on the Greek mythology story of Zeus abducting the Phoenician princess Europa in the form of a bull, the statue commemorates the 1950 early vote to form a united Europe.
