Bronze.
This low bronze relief set in a wooden frame is the work of Czech sculptor Josef Vaclav Myslbek, a sculptor of monumental works and statues who studied under Tomáš Seidan, Václav Levý and Josef Matyáš Trenkwald at the Academy of Arts in Prague. A member of the Prague National Theater generation, Myslbek is considered a founder of Czech modern sculpture. His extensive oeuvre is based in Romanticism but progresses to a Neo-Renaissance expression; with its simple forms and monumentality, his sculptures are a counterpoint to the work of Josef Mánes.
