19-02-2003 | Pavla Horáková

In this week's Czechs in History, we return to the second half of the nineteenth century, to the time when the Czech nation was still only dreaming about its own statehood. But its aspirations in the fields of art and science were then already taking on a more concrete form - represented, for example, by the construction of the magnificent buildings of the National Theatre and the National Museum in Prague. One of the personalities who left a distinctive mark on this period was painter Vaclav Brozik, the best-known representative of the style of Czech historicism.
