The sculpture is creative and unusual at the same time

Before you settle down for an immersive reading experience, please have another look at the photograph above. Can you guess which legendary figure is depicted in the monument?

To avoid mentioning this eminent name in either the title or the subtitle is, to be honest, a deliberate attempt on my part. It ensures you get an opportunity to activate your brain cells, and the reading experience is interactive to begin with.

Do you need some help? Okay, here’s a hint then. The photographs attached to this narrative, including the one above, have been captured in Brno, the second-largest city in the Czechia or Czech Republic (after Prague).

Still not able to figure it out?

The sculpture outside the Reduta Theater is a unique cultural reference, epitomizing a child prodigy.

Maybe, the mention of Austria in general or Salzburg and Vienna in particular will help.

One final hint. There’s an Academy Award-winning classic based on this person’s life.
