He showed an exceptional talent for drawing from an early age, and went on to find fame and fortune in Vienna and Paris, before settling in Prague. There, he turned his paintbrush to the Slav Epic, a gift to the city – and indeed the Czech nation – that took him nearly two decades to complete. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/mucha_alfons_1920_zbiroh_slovanska_epopej.jpg?timestamp=1644589045 https://english.radio.cz/alfons-mucha-160-art-nouveau-pioneer-who-left-paris-prague-achieve-slav-epic-8687334 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
