At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the café was primarily synonymous with the center of social and cultural events. They often became the favorite subject of more than one artist. Views of garden restaurants and cafes are a typical work of Max Liebermann, the first convolute of works was created at the beginning of the First World War. A few years later, this painting by an unknown artist was created from the Jičín gallery. Even artists after 1945, such as Jiří Anderle or Karel Souček, did not avoid the café environment.
Although the person of St. Wenceslas,patron of the Czech land, is known to everyone, there are still many questions surrounding his life. We do not know his date of birth, we do not know if he had a family and we are not even sure of the year when he was murdered by his brother Boleslav. Still, we can tell what he probably looked like. As research by anthropologist Emanuel Vlček in 1976 showed, the preserved skeletal remains and skull most closely match the statue from the St. Wenceslas Chapel in St. Vitus Cathedral. The marl work with polychromy was created between 1372 and 1373 by the cathedral author Petr Parléř or his nephew Jindřich.
