Worth a look
Two exhibitions at the Graphic Arts Cabinet of the National Gallery in Prague
Art and Heritage in Central Europe
- Exhibition “Luděk Marold for Fliegende Blätter” at Trade Fair Palace in Prague from 15.02 to 02.06 2024
The Graphic Arts Cabinet presents drawings created by Luděk Marold in the second half of the 1890s for the Munich humour magazine Fliegende Blätter. The full-page anecdote was regarded among the artistically most demanding types of illustration featured in this paper. Marold’s prevalently watercolour and gouache compositions were full-fledged works of art that engravers subsequently transposed into xylographs with the utmost attention and care.

- Exhibition “Antonín Karel Balzer: The Krkonoše-Adršpach Cycle” at Trade Fair Palace in Prague from 15.02 to 02.06 2024
The series of prints depicting 24 views of the Krkonoše Mountains and Adršpach Rocks created by the graphic artist Antonín Karel Balzer (1771–1807) constitutes a pioneering work of 19th-century Czech landscape painting. For the first time, central attention was given to the landscape and its natural wonders admired in the individual images by figures that provide a scale to the vastness and grandeur of the surrounding natural scenery.
