Ernst Friedrich August Rietschel (born December 15, 1804 in Pulsnitz, † February 21, 1861 in Dresden) was one of the most important German sculptors of late Classicism. The sculptures he created, such as the Goethe-Schiller monument in Weimar or the Lessing monument in Braunschweig, have decisively shaped the image of Germany as a land of poets and thinkers (Wikipedia).
