EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the awe-inspiring sight of St. Wenceslas Tomb, located within the hallowed halls of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague Castle, Czech Republic. The image showcases the intricately carved Gothic statue of St. Wenceslas, created by Jindrich Parler, the nephew of renowned architect Peter Parler, in 1373. The statue stands proudly at the tomb of Bohemia's patron saint and national hero, King Wenceslas I, who was martyred in the 10th century. The Chapel of St. Wenceslas, where the king's relics are housed, was built between 1344 and 1364 by Peter Parler, featuring a stunning ribbed vault. The chapel is an integral part of St. Vitus Cathedral, which also houses the relics of St. Adalbert, another significant figure in Czech history. The photograph, estimated to date from the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the Czech Republic during the early 20th century. The image's timeless beauty and the enchanting atmosphere of the cathedral serve as a testament to the enduring legacy of King Wenceslas and the profound impact he continues to have on the Czech people.
