Walfisch des Jona

This bronze sculpture depicting the whale of Jonah is a public artwork in the Moselle town of Cochem, drawing on the Old Testament story in which the prophet Jonah is swallowed by a great fish. The date and sculptor are not documented in available sources, though the Jonah motif has been a staple of Christian iconography since late antiquity. The compact bronze piece offers an unexpected pause in Cochem's townscape, with particular appeal to children curious about the biblical scene.
