Alfons Mucha (1860-1939) is known for his masterful art nouveau iconic poster designs that capture the essence of beauty advertising products – it’s probably some of the most exquisite examples of advertising art ever seen. His paintings were an expression of culture and national pride, as well as a medium of political sentiment; nowhere is this more apparent than in The Slav Epic, a collection of large canvases that document the spiritual development of the Slav race.
With the introduction of this beautiful setting within the confines of the Kaunický palác, Prague, visitors will be able to experience Mucha’s work with greater intimacy and depth, and also experience the city of Prague through the eyes of an artist who helped give it a soul.
