Art Up Close: Depictions of Saint Wenceslaus in Medieval Art of the 14th and 15th Centuries

A guided tour with art historian David Beitl through the exhibition "Medieval Art in Bohemia and Central Europe 1200-1500" at the Convent of Saint Agnes of Bohemia. The tour explores how Saint Wenceslaus was depicted on medieval panels - when and where this tradition began to form, what his iconography reveals, which group of saints he belongs to, and why he holds the place of the most important patron saint of the land.

This tour is part of the "Art Up Close" series, which focuses on specific parts of the collections and places selected themes in broader context.
