The Slav Epic has been displayed for some years in the
castle at Moravsik Crumlov
|
Not particularly well signed, but, at length, we found it
|
Going on in the park next door was a drumming marathon
and concert that evening
|
Drumming stage
|
Drummers drumming their drums
|
The castle itself is a bit of a fixer-upper
|
Original sun dial, no doubt
|
But it has its charm
|
Anyhow, here are two of the twenty paintings (off the web;
there is a no pix policy); they are indeed enormous, 20 by
30 foot canvasses, originally made for ships' sails
|
The paintings are quite moving, even if, like
us, you don't know much Czech or Slavic
history; you can see more if you like by simply
searching "Mucha Slav Epic"
