Veletržní palác - Sculpture



This gorgeous sculptured relief in Art-nouveau style is from Stanislav Sucharda. It is composed of bronze, red marble and onyx.  From far are the Strahov Monastery, Saint Nicholas Church and Saint Vitus Cathedral.  On the foreground is Charles Bridge.  The male is the City of Prague and the female, the Vltava River.

Otakar Švec - Motorcyclist

Another example is Otakar Švec's motorcyclist. It is a frozen moment of a motorcycle round a sharp bend.  Full of motion!  Famous artists are not lacking.  Examples of big name are Picasso, Otto Gutfreund, Karel Nepras, Rodin, etc.  The works from other less known artists are superb.  Tour around to be amazed.
