At the Wallenstein Riding School
Josef Mánes is one of the most important Czech artists of the 19th century. His oeuvre is characterized by its extraordinary breadth and quality – it includes works intended for public space and works of a distinctly intimate character; works that are timeless and works that are quite topical; images, landscapes, allegories; canvases, drawings, and prints. The exhibition presents the key areas of Mánes’ work and complements them with comparative material covering both the work of his Czech contemporaries and foreign artists who influenced the Czech environment.
