Václav Levý
Václav Levý (14 September 1820, Nebřeziny, near Plasy〔(Registration record of birth and baptism )〕 – 30 April 1870, Prague) was a Czech sculptor; considered to be one of the pioneers of the modern style in his country. == Biography == He was the son of a shoemaker. When he was two years old, the family moved to Kožlany, where they remained. He showed an early aptitude for carving, creating several figures of the Virgin Mary and crucifixes. His parents were not sympathetic, however, and sought to apprentice him to a carpenter. At the urging of a local parson, he was sent away for an education, first to the Abbey in Pilsen, then to the Augustinian Monastery in Schlüsselburg, where he became a cook, later serving a brief apprenticeship in Dresden.〔(Prostor-Architektura, interiér, design: Brief biography )〕 Upon returning from Dresden, he made the chance acquaintance of Antonín Veith, a landowner who was also a patron of the arts, and entered his service as a cook at his estate in Liboch near Melnik in 1844.〔 His talent for sculpture was soon noticed by many of Veith's guests and, on the advice of the painter Josef Matěj Navrátil, he was sent to prague to study with the sculptor František Xaver Linn (1802–1848). However, Lévy came to the conclusion that Linn was a mediocre sculptor who had nothing to teach him, so he returned to Liboch.〔 It was there, in 1845, at the suggestion of Veith's librarian, an Augustinian Professor from Brno named František Klácel, that Levý began creating the reliefs on a wooded hill near Liboch that are now known as Klácelka. Levý probably took his inspiration for the sculptures from Klácel's poem "Ferina Lišák" (a fable about a fox). The attention attracted by these reliefs encouraged Veith to send him to Munich for studies with Ludwig Schwanthaler, where he was taught the Academic style. It was here that he produced one of his best-known works "Adam and Eve" in 1849. He then returned to Klácelka, adding motifs from Czech history, as well as working on new decorations for the castle chapel.〔Jiři ŠimekIMEK, Zdeněk Rydygr, Bernard Kirschner.
