Portrait Photography: bust of Ludwig van Beethoven at Hradec nad Moravici Chateau
Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!
I have submitted few photos to the #portraitphotography contest hosted by @juliank so far and even my today´s entry will not be your typical portrait shot. I think I somehow do not feel comfortable when taking photos of other people´s faces but I am absolutely ok with taking shots of busts and statues :)

Today, I would like to show you this bust of Ludwig van Beethoven that I captured at a chateau in the Silesian town of Hradec nad Moravici. I believe there is no need to introduce you to Beethoven himself as he is one of the world´s greatest and most recognized composers of all time but you may wonder why his bust was installed at a chateau somewhere in the Silesian countryside. The reason is simple - Beethoven loved the Hradec nad Moravici Chateau and he visited it regularly.

As a matter of fact, Beethoven was not the only prominent musician associated with the chateau. The monumental piece of architecture hosted several other celebrities from the musical world including Niccolo Paganini and Franz Liszt.
I will certainly dedicate a separate post to the chateau itself as it is considered one of the most beautiful chateaus in the Czech Republic so if you are interested in old architecture, stay tuned ;)

I love me a good bust of Beethoven @phortun. My piano teacher had a smaller version of that one on her piano.
My uncle had a full length one of Beethoven in a dress coat which I inherited when my uncle died. Unfortunately it was made of chalk and, by the time, it got to me it was broken beyond repair. 😢
Now this is what I call true Beethoven fans :) Sorry about that chalk statue, must have looked cool.
Yes. It was really lovely in it's glory days @phortun!😊
Curiosities of the great Beethoven.
Very good your photo of the statue of the illustrious composer @phortun.
Thank you Rosibel :) Have a nice weekend!
