Greek Slave became the most famous sculpture of the nineteenth century and propelled the artist, Hiram Powers (1805-73), to international stardom. The work was so provocatively lifelike that certain exhibition venues in the United States required that men and women view the sculpture separately. Powers justified the sculpture's full nudity by claiming his work depicted historic events: a Greek woman, captured by Ottoman forces during the War of Independence, had been stripped and chained for sale at a slave market in Constantinople. American viewers in the 1840s and '50s, many of whom had never before seen a sculpture of a nude woman, felt licensed to admire the Greek Slave because she was "clothed all over with sentiment."

**Combination padlock**

A combination padlock, an armoured snuffbox, also called a letter-gate padlock, a trick padlock or an artificial padlock. In order to open it, one has to know the right code, which –  after setting the combination lock – enables one to uncover the keyhole. After this, the padlock can be opened with a key. The padlock was made in 1918, the year of the regaining of independence by Poland. Decorations in the form of national symbols, such as the crowned eagle, are typical of products of the post-WWI era.

The Simón Bolívar Monument in Donaupark in Vienna’s 22nd district features a freestanding statue of the South American freedom fighter Simón Bolívar on a round pedestal. The sculpture was created in 1983 by the artist Hugo Daini and donated to Vienna by the Venezuelan government. It depicts Bolívar in an upright, determined posture and is part of a series of monuments to Latin American figures in the park.

Simón Bolívar was born in Caracas in 1783 and was a key figure in the independence movements in South America. He led the struggle against Spanish colonial rule and played a decisive role in the liberation of several countries, including Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru. Revered as “El Libertador,” he pursued the goal of creating a united South American nation, though this effort ultimately failed.

Gobi Flag AMNH - Happy Independence Day 2019

A sculpture called Éire Memorial, located in Merrion Square, Dublin. Created by the renowned French sculptor Jérôme Connor. She rests her arm on a Cláirseach (traditional Irish harp), which is a primary national symbol of Ireland. Her somber expression reflects the struggle for Irish independence and the loss of life associated with it.

The statue’s inscription reveals it was a gift from Joseph Downes and Son Ltd., commemorating the centenary of the Buttercrust Bakery in 1976. However, the sculpture itself has a longer history. It was created by Jerome Connor, an Irish-American sculptor known for his powerful works. Although he originally intended it as part of a memorial to Kerry poets, destiny had other plans. Today, the Éire Memorial Statue stands as a testament to Ireland’s enduring spirit, a silent storyteller in the heart of Dublin.
