Stake attention in this memory
A dark patinated metal (likely bronze) bust of Lev Mykolaiovych Revutskyi (1889-1977), a Ukrainian composer, is affixed within an arched, light terracotta-colored recessed niche on an exterior building wall. The bust depicts a male figure from the chest up, with a mustache, looking downwards and to his right, with his right hand raised to his temple, indicative of a contemplative pose. The bust's lower portion and the elements flanking the inscription plaque beneath it feature a rough, textured, almost geological finish. The arched niche is framed by an ornate, textured border resembling interwoven ropes. Below the bust, a rectangular metal plaque with raised Cyrillic text is visible. The surrounding wall is composed of light orange-brown bricks laid in a stretcher bond pattern. A stone ledge or plinth, constructed from large, rough-cut grey stones, forms the base of the structure at the bottom of the frame. Strong sunlight from the upper right illuminates the scene, casting prominent shadows to the left side of the niche and the bust, enhancing its three-dimensional quality. An unidentified metallic fixture is mounted high on the brick wall above the niche. This memorial is located on the facade of the National Music Academy of Ukraine named after P.I. Tchaikovsky at vulytsia Arkhitektora Horodetskoho, 1/3, in Kyiv, Ukraine.
