VÁCLAV RADIMSKÝ (1867 - 1946)
This exhibition of Václav Radimský is the first one-man retrospective of the output of one of the foremost Czech landscapists active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, whose style was influenced by Claude Monet.
From the late 1880s, Radimský lived in France, in 1895 settling at Giverny near Vernon, where he became acquainted with Claude Monet. It was also chiefly inspiration by the latter´s work which became instrumental in Radimsk��s development of his own Impressionistic idiom, thoroughly within the intentions of Monet´s approach.
After the First World War, he returned to his native Bohemia, to live at Pašinka near the town of Kolín, where his artistic interest, focused previously on the river Seine and the countryside around Giverny in France, now turned with the same intensity onto the river Elbe and its surrounding valley.
