    The Tigner Fountain near the Hermesvilla in the Lainzer Tiergarten is a Baroque fountain created by Viktor Tilgner in 1885. It depicts the scene of Genevieve of Brabant being rescued by a doe—a motif that reflects the Romantic longing for nature and freedom. The fountain is located in the courtyard of the Hermesvilla, a former hunting lodge of Empress Elisabeth, and is surrounded by an elegant pavilion. The Tigner Fountain is a striking example of 19th-century art and a worthwhile stop for art and history buffs.

    The Diana group "Wood Nymph with Hind and Putto" at the Hermesvilla is an enchanting sculpture group depicting the mythological goddess of the hunt, Diana, in a natural setting. Surrounded by forest and meadows, the figure depicts an elegant wood nymph with a hind and a playful putto. The group embodies the connection between nature, mythology, and art and blends harmoniously into the idyllic surroundings of the Lainz Tiergarten. A wonderful eye-catcher for anyone who appreciates art in a natural setting.

    The central figure of the fountain is interpreted as a forest nymph or goddess Artemis/Diana. The water basin with the group of figures was created by the Austrian sculptor and portraitist Viktor Oskar Tilgner in 1886.
