Moritz Hartmann is most well known for his role as a successful captain in the period of Niels Juls, helping to strengthen the reputation of Danish power under a foreign flag.  He is also responsible for the Parthenon's catastrophic damage in 1687 when he called for a bomb to be fired from his stip at the temple. From there on the Acropolis and Parthenon were in ruins and fragments were taken by souvenir hunders, the most prominent being Lord Elgin whose 'Elgin Marbles' are now held captive by The British Museum. Hartmann, naturally, took two heads from the south metope 4. These two heads are now in the Danish National Museum.
