Description was written before the event

A guided tour of the exhibition "Medieval Art in Bohemia and Central Europe 1200-1500" at the Convent of St. Agnes with art historian David Beitl. The focus is on late Gothic art in Bohemia during the reigns of Vladislav II Jagiello and Louis Jagiello, when Gothic gradually gave way to the Renaissance and the medieval period transitioned into the early modern era.

This tour is part of the "Art Up Close" series, which each time concentrates on specific parts of the collections and places them in broader historical context.

About the venue: St. Agnes Convent

The Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia is one of the most important Gothic buildings in Prague, founded in the 1230s by the Premyslid princess St Agnes of Bohemia as the first convent of the Poor Clares north of the Alps. Today it forms part of the National Gallery Prague and houses the permanent exhibition Medieval Art in Bohemia and Central Europe 1200–1550. Visitors can explore the Oratory of St Agnes, the Shrine of the Saviour, and the Church of St Francis, where the remains of King Wenceslas I are buried.
