"Honoring Svatopluk Čech", Art Nouveau Relief Plaque w/ Male & Female Nudes

About the Item

This fine and unusual example of Czech Art Nouveau sculpture -- complete with male and female nudes in profile, and a border of pine branches -- features at its center a portrait of Svatopluk Čech, the great poet and Czech nationalist active in the early 20th century. The nudes are powerful and sensual, and the female nude wears the ornamented headband that Alphonse Mucha made so famous in his poster designs. The sculptor was V. Novák, and here he uses pewter with a silvered finish. The panel was cast by the Bartak foundry in Prague.
