Skotský lovec / Scottish Hunter - Lány, Czechia - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

CZ: Pred stodevíti lety (1910) se ve Vídni konala myslivecká výstava, které se úcastnil i kníže Fürstenberg s chotí. Na výstave byla k prodeji také Rothbergerova bronzová socha "Skotského lovce", která se rodine Fürstenbergu natolik zalíbila, že si ji koupili a nechali prevézt do Lán.
Socha byla zasazena do lánského anglického parku tesne u zámku. V roce 1921 odkoupila zámek Ceskoslovenská republika a udelala z nej letní sídlo ceskoslovenských prezidentu. Hradní architekt Josip Plecnik provádel parkové úpravy a socha se mu do nich nehodila. Nechal ji proto odstranit.
"Skotský lovec" byl tehdy premísten na Nové Dvory a tam vydržel až do r. 2002. Nová doba prinesla i nové problémy, a tak hrozilo, že se bronzová socha stane predmetem zájmu zlodeju kovu. Z obavy pred krádeží ji nechala Kancelár prezidenta CR premístit do areálu bažantnice Amálie.
V roce 2018 byla socha, pri príležitosti 100. výrocí vzniku Ceskoslovenské republiky (která ovšem už zase neexistuje), premístena pred budovu Lesní správy Lány.

ENG: 109 years ago (1910) a hunting exhibition was held in Vienna, attended by Prince Fürstenberg with his wife. Rothberger's bronze sculpture of the "Scottish Hunter" was also available for sale at the exhibition. The Fürstenberg family liked it so much that they bought it and had it brought to Lány.
The statue was set in the English park of Lany near the castle. In 1921, the Czechoslovak Republic bought the castle and made it a summer residence of Czechoslovak presidents. The castle architect Josip Plecnik carried out park arrangements and the statue was not suitable for them. So he had it removed.
The "Scottish Hunter" was then relocated to Nove Dvory and stayed there until 2002. The new era also brought new problems, and the bronze sculpture threatened to become a concern for metal thieves. For fear of theft, the Office of the President of the Czech Republic had her relocated to the premises of the Amálie pheasantry.
In 2018, the statue was relocated to the Lány Forest Management Building on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic (which no longer exists).
