Little Courtyard below the Prague Castle (2026) Original Oil Painting by Jan Machac

Anyone looking for Prague Castle did not always have to go far — all they had to do was go out into the yard. A woman in an apron is feeding the hens, a cherry tree is blooming over the wall, and the towers of St. Vitus Cathedral stick out above the roofs as always. Metropolitan Prague and backyard Prague — two faces of the same city, a hundred meters and a hundred worlds apart. The foreground is ordinary, the background is monumental, and yet both belong to the same moment.

The painting captures this paradox with kind precision. A blossoming tree, laundry on the fence, small everyday things — and above all, a silhouette that belongs to history. For everyone who loves Prague not only as a postcard, but as a living city.
