Beethoven, the Bonn's protege


Beethoven, the Bonn's protege, originally uploaded by algenta101.

In 1996, the Dusseldorf based sculpture Klaus Kammerichs created "Beethon" a visually stunning concrete bust based on the best known portrait of Beethoven, painted in 1819 by karl Josef Stieler (the name of the bust is a play on the German word "Beethon", which mean concrete). The sculpture has been synonymous not only with Beethoven Hall but also with the city of Bonn itself
