Carl Nielsen memorial, Bronze sculpture in Grønningen, Denmark
The memorial features a young man playing pan-pipes while sitting on a wingless Pegasus, created in a dynamic equestrian composition at Grønningen's corner.
Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen completed this tribute to her husband, composer Carl Nielsen, in 1939 after overcoming financial difficulties and design disputes.
The monument incorporates Greek mythology by depicting Pan, the god of music, with facial features resembling a young Carl Nielsen.
The memorial stands at the intersection of Grønningen and Store Kongensgade, making it accessible for visitors exploring central Copenhagen.
The original plaster model of this bronze and granite monument remains preserved at the Carl Nielsen Museum in Odense.
