Relief Wihan grave , Prague, Czechia - Relief Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

CZ: Autorem náhrobku violoncellisty Hanuše Vihana (1855 - 1920) je František Bílek (1872 - 1941) (visit link)
Bronzový reliéf je zasazen v kamenné desce, jež korunuje motiv kríže. Postavy jsou výrazne protáhlé a odené do rouch, mají tradicne zavrené oci. Muž hraje na housle a žena si prekvapive zacpává uši. Snad by to mohlo symbolizovat zdrcující fakt, že hudbu linoucí se z mistrova nástroje již nebude možné zaslechnout. Pod nohama dvojice nalezneme nápis se slovy: „Písen o vecném domovu.“

EN: The author of the tombstone of cellist Hanuš Vihan (1855 - 1920) is František Bílek (1872 - 1941) (visit link)
The bronze relief is set in a stone plate that crowns the cross motif. The figures are markedly elongated and dressed in robes, eyes are traditionally closed. The man plays the violin and the woman surprisingly plugs his ears. Perhaps it would symbolize the overwhelming fact that music flowing from the master's instrument could no longer be heard. Under the feet of the couple we find an inscription saying, "A song about the eternal home."
