Culture and Entertainment The <strong>Prague</strong> Castle<br />
EXHIBITIONS<br />
PRAGUE CASTLE PICTURE GALLERY<br />
Rudolphine Beauty - Recently Found Works<br />
by Emperor Rudolph's Courtly Artists, until Mar 30<br />
The exhibition returns back to the oldest roots of <strong>Prague</strong> Castle collections<br />
and it will present, for the first time, found items from the private<br />
collection for the first time. As yet unknown works on mythological and<br />
religious topics created by major artists of the Court such as Hans von<br />
Aachen, Bartholomeus Spranger and Adrian de Vries.<br />
RIDING SCHOOL<br />
Mikoláš Aleš (1852–1913), until Apr 20<br />
Today’s exhibition seeks not only to present Mikoláš Aleš’s artwork, but<br />
also to follow the Aleš legend that has been an inextricable part of his<br />
work’s reception. Respect for Aleš and his renown stemmed from the<br />
artistic qualities of his work and equally, or perhaps even more so, from<br />
other extra-artistic aspects. For example, young Art Nouveau artists<br />
from the Mánes society, modernists from the Group of Artists, the local<br />
branch of the Umělecká Beseda association and members of the creative<br />
group Máj 57 all gradually claimed to be his followers. Aleš’s artistic<br />
legacy and moral example were updated when an independent<br />
Czechoslovakia was declared and updated again in the late 1930s under<br />
the Nazi threat, during the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, in the<br />
years of post-war reconstruction and then by the nationalist-conservative<br />
stream of socialist realism.<br />
THE IMPERIAL STABLES<br />
František Vláčil - Struggles, from Feb 7-May 18<br />
This exhibition presents three major works by the important film director,<br />
artist, and visual poet, František Vláčil (1924-1999), all of which deal<br />
with topics related to the Bohemian Lands in the Middle Ages. The exhibition<br />
concentrates on the special style of Vláčil's work and its importance<br />
to the development of Czech cinematography and the depiction of<br />
the Czech past in the medium of film. Apart from film clips and screen<br />
plays, the exhibition will also include film stills, drawings, set designs,<br />
and original props.<br />
