| Description | Since the times of ancient Greece and Rome, art could only prosper thanks to patrons, wealthy people, princes, kings and emperors. In the Middle Ages, but also in later times, patrons were people who were willing to spend on art and financially support painters, sculptors, architects and poets. In the Czech environment, let us recall in this context, for example, Charles IV., later Count František Antonín Špork, František Antonín Kolovrat-Libštejnský, one of the founders of the National Museum, from the nineteenth century Josef Hlávka, a patron of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Vojtěch Lanna, Anna Náprstková and her son Vojtěch, Tomáš Baťa, Jaroslav Preiss, Tomáš Garrigu Masaryk and other personalities. |
