The story behind the image
Eutin in Germany is (more or less) far away from anywhere. But it had at least one prominent child that was born here: Composer Karl Maria von Weber (1786-1826). He was born in Eutin and made it to big cities like Dresden in Germany and even to London (where he died.) One of his most important works was Der Freischütz, a romantic opera. You can read all about von Weber at Wikipedia (in German.)
This photo by Albert Giesler shows the monument in Eutin that honors him. Next to the column with von Webers bust you see the muse Polyhymnia. However, this was removed during the Second World War and melted down for production of weapons.
