		The large Myslbek building is named after the land parcel on which it was built, a piece of land often subject to the caprices of Lady Fortune.
		Myslbek is located on the historically significant border between the Old and New Towns.
		The other side of the Myslbek building faces the palatial buildings of Ovocný trh (Fruit Market), which was one of the largest and most important areas in Prague for centuries, being part of an extensive market.

	Central Europe Review - Vaclav Pinkava: Flogging a Dead Horse?
		To me, a Klaus-lookalike St Vaclav caricature, riding an upside down dead horse is the very essence of the absurd theatre - worthy of the other Vaclav, the playwright-president.
		The statue which adorns the top of Wenceslas Square is by Josef Vaclav Myslbek, whose surname is better known to Prague visitors as a modern shopping mall, Na Prikope.
		Myslbek was not the outright winner, but got ahead (by a nose so to speak) of the romanticised design by Bohumil Schirl, through reworking his concept into a very symbolic and national revivalist Christian patron.

		In the early 1870s he began showing sketches on themes from Bohemian folklore at Prague exhibitions, thus associating himself with the legacy of Josef Mánes.
		His reclining figures of Drama and Opera (1871–4) in the National Theatre in Prague indicate that his bent was not so much for decorative as for monumental sculpture.
		In his first monument to a national hero, the leader of the Hussites, Jan Zizka of Trocnov (1874–7), for the town of Tábor, Myslbek produced a new type of heroic figure in the spirit of historical realism.
