Vladislav Röhling
(1878 - 1949)
Tjech Printmaker, Painter, Etcher and Ex-libris artist.
Not speaking Tjech or even understanding the language at first I didnot know what my "Rainy Square in Prague with St. Nicolas Church print" was. Other than beautifull. Until I studied a Tjech auction cataloque and did some easy translating
My print was called Sv Mikulás (zima). Zima for winter. So I learned of existing Spring and Summer and Fall. The 4 seasons in Praque. Around 1940.
Here they are with more or less matching pictures from today Prague. The 1000 year city.
Winter: sv. Mikulás (zima) Old Town square with St. Nicholas church 
Spring: Hradcany s letné (jaro): the castle on the hill dominating Praque as seen from the Old Town
Summer: Pohled s nábrezi (leto): View on Moldau embankments as seen from the Old Town
Fall: Sala Terrana Valstynského (podzim) Waldsteingardens with Sala terrana
Pretty accurate was Vladislav. In a Part 2 I'll show you some more examples of his art and more views on Praque.
