Lonely Planet review

Einar Jónsson (1874-1954) is Iceland's foremost sculptor, famous for his intense symbolist works. Chiselled allegories of Hope, Earth, Spring and Death burst from basalt cliffs, weep over naked women, sprout wings and slay dragons. For a taster, the Einar Jónsson sculpture garden behind the Einar Jónsson Museum contains 26 bronze casts; they're particularly effective at dusk.
