Handel monument, Bronze monument in Market Square, Halle, Germany.

Hermann Heidel created this 3.20-meter-tall monument in 1853, positioning the figure to face London, where Handel spent much of his professional life.
The monument serves as the central gathering point during the annual Handel Festival, which presents performances of baroque music throughout the city.
