Ludwig van Beethoven, Bronze sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, France
The bronze monument shows Ludwig van Beethoven in a contemplative pose, mounted on a marble pedestal within a garden setting.
Antoine Bourdelle, who created approximately 35 different compositions of Beethoven, completed this sculpture before its installation in 1978.
The monument represents the French appreciation for classical music and specifically honors one of the principal figures of Western composition.
Visitors can locate the statue in the northwestern section of Jardin du Luxembourg along Rue de Vaugirard, near multiple walking paths.
The sculpture arrived at its current location to mark the 150th anniversary of Beethoven's death, through a donation from the sculptor's daughter.
