Ok another clue, let me think now. His creations have became somewhat symbol of that European country, quite legendary stuff. And at the time his creations were considered somewhat futuristic, ahead of its time, in the whole world.
And while his creations have become somewhat symbolic in THAT country, and when we talk about these things, we mention/picture THAT country.
The author of these creations was actually born in another European country, though he moved to THAT country and also died there.
