The Brabo Fountain (Dutch: Brabofontein) is an eclectic-style fountain-sculpture located in the Grote Markt (main square) of Antwerp, Belgium, in front of the City Hall.

The fountain, dating from 1887, contains a bronze statue by the sculptor Jef Lambeaux depicting the city's legendary founder, Silvius Brabo, throwing the severed hand of the giant Druon Antigoon into the river Scheldt.

[2] According to an inscription on the monument, Lambeaux owed the prestigious commission to Arthur Van den Nest, Alderman of Fine Arts of Antwerp from 1874 to 1882.

[1] The legend tells of a giant called Antigoon who was said to have lived near the Scheldt and extracted a toll from passing boatmen who moored in the area.

[2][4][5] According to this legend, the etymology of the name Antwerpen is a composition of the Dutch words "(h)ant" (hand) and "werpen" (throw or launch).

The fountain, 10.6 metres (35 ft) high, is signed and dated on the south side: "Jef LAMBEAUX/ 1887/ CIE DES BRONZES".

At his feet is the giant Druon Antigoon, decapitated and naked, surrounded by a turtle, a dragon, a sea lion and fish.
