From Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia to the ancient streets of Rome, these monumental figures continue to awe and inspire. In Detmold, Germany, nestled amidst the picturesque Senne region, stands the Arminius Monument. This towering masterpiece, also known as the Hermann Monument, dates back to 1880. Although its exact original date remains unknown, our digitally restored reproduction allows us to marvel at its grandeur. Traveling further back in time brings us to Historic Rome in Italy. Here lies an impressive digital reproduction of an original 17th-century statue from Ancient Rome itself. The Colossal Statues of Ancient Rome evoke a sense of wonder and admiration for their creators' skill and vision. Venturing deeper into German history takes us to Teuteburg Forest in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Hermann Monument near Detmold stands proudly as a symbol of historical significance. A photochrome print from the 1890s captures this monument's majesty for all eternity. Leaving Europe behind momentarily, we find ourselves in Egypt during the Amarna Period of the New Kingdom. Amenophis IV (Akhenaten) emerges from Tell el-Amarna—a colossal limestone statue that echoes tales from ancient times. Returning to Britain's shores reveals more remarkable statues that have left indelible marks on history. The Royal Institution in Edinburgh houses a captivating Colossal Statue of the Queen—an engraving that immortalizes her grace and power.
