In the footsteps of Alphonse Mucha: Hlahol Association House

Share

One of the gems of Hlahol Association House is Mucha’s large lunette canvas on the theme of Song – an allegory of singing, which the painter began in 1921 and worked on for 13 years. Today, the canvas is situated in the great hall on the ground floor of the building. In a landscape steeped in rosy light are depicted several figures: ‘A National Song as attended by chirping birds, a Lullaby of Maternal Love, personified Love for the Homeland, personified Prague and her being lauded by numerous heralds.’ (Citation provided by the Mucha Foundation).
