Mikoláš Aleš

“ Every Bohemian pronounces the name of Aleš with respect, with love and pride. There is no other genius among the artists of the Czechoslovak people who has brought out the soul of the people, the people of cottages and fields, so well as Nicholas Aleš. His art is Bohemian art; he will never acquire world fame, because his appeal is to the Bohemian heart. ”
