Vigeland moved to his new studio on Nobels gate in the borough of Frogner during 1924.
Vigeland modeled all his sculptures using clay in full size without any assistance of pupils or other artists.
The carving in stone and the casting in bronze were left to a number of talented craftsmen.
Vigeland also designed the architectural setting and the layout of the grounds including gates and bridges.
Construction of the park lasted for a number of years.
In fact, Vigeland did not live to see the completed park.
The majority of the sculptures and the architectural elements was not installed until about 1950.
The sculpture symbolizes mans desire to become closer with the spiritual and divine.
It portrays a feeling of togetherness as the human figures embrace one another as they are carried toward salvation.
It took 3 stone carvers 14 years to transfer the figures from clay to the rock.
