"Ernst Gustav Herter (born 14 May 1846 in Berlin, Germany – died 19 December 1917 in Berlin) was a famous German sculptor who worked in Berlin. He specialized in creating statues of mythological figures. Among his most famous works is Sterbender Achill (Dying Achilles), created in Berlin in 1884. The statue was acquired by the Empress of Austria and became the centerpiece at her palace Achilleion in Corfu, Greece.
The second original sculpture of Dying Achilles by Ernst Herter is in Poland in Elbląg at Łączności street opposite the City Hall. Achilles is a gift from the German Ministry of Culture and Arts." - (en.wikipedia.org 01.02.2020)
