Description
The authors of the popular series Modern Prague present a book about Prague architecture from the second half of the 19th century. Amidst the seemingly unshakeable styles of classicism, romanticism, and historicism, a new artistic expression emerges – Art Nouveau. The guide captures in words and images the most remarkable buildings in the historical core of the city along with the surrounding neighborhoods, such as Vinohrady, Žižkov, Karlín, Smíchov, Holešovice, and Bubeneč. In addition to major projects like the National Theatre, the National Museum, the Rudolfinum, and the completion of St. Vitus Cathedral, the authors again focus on architectural works that often find themselves overshadowed. The lavish publication is accompanied by new black-and-white photographs, maps, profiles of architects, and a glossary of technical terms.
