Foreign artists prevailed in both quantity and quality on art exhibitions in Prague to the domestic ones. Art exhibitions became subject of permanent criticism with the growing national movement. For the Czech artists associations, it was easier to compete with official art association on the field of art prints then on the field of art exhibitions. The article studies art prints as a tool of communication with broad public including projects by Josef Mánes.

The Znojmo rotunda and early Christian painting
Bažant, Jan
The most significant monument of Czech medieval narrative art is the Premyslid Gallery in the Znojmo Rotunda, the oldest preserved interior with wall paintings in the Czech lands (1134). The central figure in this gallery, Premysl the Ploughman, is in all probability shown in the role of Christ and the Premyslids in the role of the apostles. The Znojmo painting was modeled on scenes with Christ handing over the New Covenant for his disciples to propagate, i.e. it is a depiction of the transmission of authority - an investiture of the ruling Czech dynasty.
