The Brethren School in Ivancice, Alphonse Mucha
(1914)
In his painting Mucha presents his hometown of Ivančice with its walls and church tower in their 16th-century appearance.
The painting shows a class of the Brethren School outdoors, in a place which is still called Ve Sboru (The Choir) today. The class is interrupted because the school is visited by Karel Sr. of Žerotin. He is sitting under a shelter, looking at copies of the Bible.
