The Carl Nielsen Monument, located at the corner of Grønningen and Store Kongensgade in central Copenhagen, Denmark, is a monument to Danish composer Carl Nielsen created by his wife Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen.
The naked young man with pan-pipes represents Pan, god of music in Greek mythology.
Carl-Nielsen has commented on the design that "What I wanted to show in my figure is the forward movement, the sense of life, the fact that nothing stands still.
She wrote: "I wanted to take the winged horse, eternal symbol of poetry, and place a musician on its back.
Dispute about her design and a shortfall in funding meant that the monument was delayed and that Anne Marie herself ended up subsidising it.
