Some pieces of sculpture European has left standing (6)

I believe the answer is:
status
'standing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for status that I've seen before include "High social standing" , "degree" , "Relative social standing" , "Place in society" , "Importance, standing" .)
