Sculpture of Gottfried Semper, Bronze memorial statue at Brühl's Terrace, Dresden, Germany.
The bronze sculpture depicts Gottfried Semper standing with a partially rolled architectural drawing in his hands upon a base adorned with lion heads.
The German Association of Architects and Engineers funded this memorial statue in 1892 after the city of Dresden and Kingdom of Saxony declined financial support.
The statue represents Semper's contribution to Dresden's architecture, including the Semper Opera House and Dresden University of Fine Arts during his tenure from 1834 to 1849.
The memorial stands on the northern section of Brühl's Terrace, offering visitors direct access to additional architectural landmarks and views of the Elbe River.
The statue survived the 1945 Dresden bombings without damage and maintains its original position on a decorated stone pedestal over 1.5 meters high.
