Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the artistic, architectural, and social developments of the city of Prague during the reign of the House of Luxembourg, from the reign of King John of Luxembourg to that of King Sigismund. The author covers the rise of Charles IV, who made Prague the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Golden Age of Prague, when the city became a center of art, culture, and learning. The book features discussions of medieval architecture, from the Gothic cathedrals to the Vltava River bridges, and the work of both local and foreign artists and craftsmen who flocked to Prague for patronage. The author claims that Pragueâs architectural beauty, artistic creativity, and social dynamism were due to the leadership of Charles IV and the support of the Luxembourg rulers, as well as to the influence of German merchants and the newly founded Charles University. The book combines social history with artistic analysis, revealing the role of art and architecture in shaping urban life in medieval Europe.
