Monument to Arriaga by Francisco Durrio, Bronze sculpture in Doña Casilda Iturrizar park, Bilbao, Spain.
The Monument to Arriaga features a bronze figure of Euterpe, the muse of music, with water flowing from her lyre near the Fine Arts Museum.
Francisco Durrio created this monument in 1933 to honor Juan Crisostomo de Arriaga, a composer who died at age 19 in the early 19th century.
The sculpture underwent removal and replacement between 1948 and 1975 due to public discussions regarding the representation of the nude figure.
Located behind the Fine Arts Museum in Doña Casilda Iturrizar park, visitors can reach the monument through several public transportation options.
Water flows continuously from the lyre held by the figure, combining sculptural artistry with functional fountain elements in this bronze monument.
