Landscapes of Czech Painters: Slavíček and Zrzavý

Antonín Slavíček was an impressionist painter who kickstarted the Czech modern art movement. Jan Zrzavý, a painter whose work was defined in terms of neoclassicism and magic realism, also kickstarted the Czech modern art movement. Both artists painted landscapes in ways that captured both the past and the imagination of the Czechoslovakian nation.
