Renaissance Prague

As Fučíková reveals, this period saw the evolution of new architectural motifs across the city. In particular, there was a distinct transformation of Prague Castle, including the construction of well-known features such as the Ball Game Hall and Queen Anne's Summer Palace. Featuring a concise historical overview and a guide to prominent figures of the time, as well as a variety of illustrations--from artwork to archival images, contemporary photographs, and maps--Fučíková's book is a beautiful, enlightening tour through the Renaissance metropolis of the Bohemian Kingdom.
