David Wynne’s ‘Boy with a Dolphin’ is one of London’s most recognisable landmarks. Here, our specialist Alice Murray (@alicemurray_) admires a smaller version of the iconic work.
.⠀
‘Wynne studied zoology at Cambridge University, and I think his passion for the natural world, animals and their movement really comes across in this sculpture,’ Murray explains. ‘Despite the fact that we’re not underwater, you really get a sense of movement.’
.⠀
The figure of the boy is based on Wynne’s son, Roland, who was nine years old when the artist conceived this version in 1973. This personal element is ‘one of the reasons I think this work is so beautiful,’ says our specialist.
