- TRAVELNET The
Czech Republic - Classicism and Empire - Unique "galleries" of Classicist
sculpture may be found at two Prague cemeteries, Olsanske Cemetery above
Vinohrady and the Lesser Town (Malostransky) Cemetery in Kosire. From Olsanske
Square one may enter into to the circular Church of St. Roch, which neighbours
the Lapidarium which, in turn, houses many classicist sculptures of Prague. At
Plzenska Street, one finds the old Malostransky Cemetery which might be
considered a museum of buried Classicist Funereal sculpture as well. Dominant is
a monument with a kneeling figure of the Passau Bishop, Leopold Thun-
Hohenstein, made from cast iron in 1830-31 from a model by the Prague sculptor Vaclav Prachner.

- Plzen, The
Conservatory - In front of the conservatory there is a statue of the Merited
Burgomaster of Plzen, Martin Kopecky (1777-1854), the founder of modern Plzen.
It is the work of the Prague sculptor, Antonin Wildt, from 1861.
Nearby is a statue of Bedrich Smetana, a work by Alois Soper from 1975.
It recalls the fact that the young Bedrich Smetana studied here 1840-1843 at the
nearby grammar school (now the State Research
Library).
- Mnisek pod
Brdy - Together with the little church Christopher Dienzenhofer was building
the hermitage and the monastery. Both these buildings were finished in 1694 and
they were originally planned for the Benedictine monks. The sculpture Pieta is
situated in the hermitage. Its author was the member of the famous Prague
sculptor family Jan Brokof. The reconstruction of the hermitage was
finished in 1997.
- Saint
Agnes Convent at SunSITE Czech Republic - A second important phase in the
work dates from the year 1940. After archaelogical investigation the buildings
were renovated. The new architectural look did not disturb the original
atmosphere from the 13th century. On the contrary, the convent was renewed with
great respect. In the renewed Agnes Convent is a permanent exhibition of czech
painters and sculptors of the 19th century. Its beautiful ambience also
serves for temporary exhibition and concerts.

News - November 1995 - One of the best contemporary Czech sculptors, Ales Vesely (born 1935), has accepted the Embassy of the Czech Republic's
invitation to come to Washington D.C, where he will open his small but quite
impressive exhibition "Hanging Objects of the 60s and 70s and Recent
Projects." Ales Vesely began to work with objects in 1959, combining
non-traditional materials (metal sheets, sand, clay, leaves, wood, asphalt,
textiles, wire, various "debris" objects, etc.). His abstract objects tried to
express the essence of the "authentic reality" which in fact was a Czech form of
the European Informal.
