Description
I dedicate this photo to a common friend and appreciated artist, Mikey who has recently suffered a family loss.
St. Nicholas Church lies at the centre of the Lesser Town Square (Malostranske Namesti) and is the largest of Prague's churches founded by the Jesuits. The church is the masterpiece of Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, a father and son duo who constructed many buildings during the Baroque period. The interior of St. Nicholas Church is decorated with statues, paintings and frescoes by leading artists of the day. Particularly impressive is a fresco of the Celebration of the Holy Trinity by Franz Palko, which fills the 70m high dome. This is one of the most beautiful Baroque churches in Central Europe and the most striking example of the so-called radical Baroque in Bohemia. With its majestic dome, the church dominates the whole Mala Strana District. Inside, a vast trompe-l'oeil fresco, gigantic sculptures, golden altarpieces, paintings, and countless stucco or wooden details present one of the best examples of Baroque art.
Thank you for your kind comments.

I love old churches like this.you done a really good capture
WOW! WOW! WOW! I'm not into churches at all, but this is one that I'll visit as often as I can. I love wandering around in it and I tried to capture that dome with a less-than-cooperative camera! The light and colors are astounding, and I can almost feel the cool and still air in the place! This is marvelous and like your other Prague shots, this brings back memories...now if only I had some Czech Beer at this moment! I love this!
Wonderful picture!

Breathtaking!
Amazing view
Such an overwhelming sight. I can not even imagine the effort it must have taken to create such art in both the fresco and the church itself. The dedication from so many aspects of society to make this a reality is beyond anything seen these days.
