overview about the place The interior of the former school chapel served to store the Slav Epic canvasses from 1926 on. ‘For the provisional storage of the ‘Epic of all the Slavs’ paintings by Master Mucha, the former exhort hall on the second floor of the “U Studánky” school in Prague VII has been designated’, (source: Mucha Foundation, cit. City Council, 15th meeting, 16 April 1926, IN: Bulletin of the City of Prague. 19 April 1926). ‘... now I have a studio here, as negotiated from the municipality, which I’m presently arranging. There I will work on finishing and completing each tableau separately. It behoves for all 20 canvasses to fit in there and be so placed that I could reach each one. This will be devised by hanging them on girders, with pulleys and shunting.’ (source: Mucha Foundation, cit. Alphonse Mucha, Prague letter to his brother-in-law Jan Remund, Rosice, 13 May 1926). It was at the U Studánky school that Mucha also completed his magnificent work in 1928. more about the place Today’s U Studánky elementary school and kindergarten of the Charles University Faculty of Education at Umělecká 850 was built on the site of a former well, which used to supply the nearby ‘Meierhof’ manor of the ecclesiastical administrator, hence the poetic name, which means ‘by the wellspring’. Construction took place between 1901 and 1902 in the neo-Renaissance style to the design of city engineer J. Zlatník. The elementary and secondary schools were divided into a girls’ (northern) and boys’ (southern) wings.
