Bronze statue of Desiderius Erasmus excavated after WW2 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The Statue was buried by the citizens of Rotterdam to prevent the statue from being melted by the Germans. 1945. [400 x 720]
For people who don’t know, the Germans had to melt down all statues and church bells at the end of WWI since metal was becoming so scarce for munitions.
