The Angry Boy

WPG2+C9 Oslo, Norway

The Angry Boy, known as “Sinnataggen” in Norwegian, is a famous bronze statue by the sculptor Gustav Vigeland, placed in Frogner Park, Oslo, Norway (Alamy). This tiny sculpture is the most well-known piece within the Vigeland Sculpture Park, which exhibits an extensive collection of artwork by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland, featuring over 200 sculptures in granite, bronze, and wrought iron (Fjord Travel Norway).

The sculpture park, occupying eighty acres in the western parts of the larger Frogner Park, includes over six hundred full-size human figures in bronze and other materials (Chiara Scuro Magazine). The Bridge area of the park, where The Angry Boy is located, showcases 58 bronze sculptures that display a rich variety of children, women, and men of different ages, with The Angry Boy being one of the iconic figures among them (Vigeland Museum).

The Angry Boy statue has become a symbol of Vigeland Sculpture Park and is one of the creations by Gustav Vigeland for the Vigeland installation at Frogner Park, which he worked on between 1924 and 1944 (Waymarking). The statue depicts a baby boy stomping his feet in anger, capturing a moment of intense emotion that is universally relatable, thus resonating with visitors from all over the world (Seattle Times).
