The intaglio with an antiquizing motif continues an artistic tradition that Drahonovsky has managed to reassert.

JOSEF DRAHOŇOVSKÝ 1877 - 1938 - AFTER BATH
Est: -
Josef Drahovský, an important Czech sculptor and glyptic artist, became a professor at the School of Applied Arts in Prague in 1911. By that time he had already made the remarkable monumental sculpture The Wanderer and was working on the sculpture Interview. He worked on the façade and interior decoration of the Chamber of Commerce and Trade in Prague, the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Pilsen, and in Prague's Královské Vinohrady district he decorated the building of the Na Smetanka burgher school near Riegrovy Sady, and other buildings in Prague and Pilsen. Since 1918 he has been intensively engaged in cutting glass and precious stones. Glyptics captivated him and, in addition to his work as a teacher and sculptor, he created works in this field whose fame soon crossed borders and Drahoňovský became a renowned artist in Europe. We find articles about his achievements, for example, in Zlaté Praze, Český květ, Topič's anthology, Volné směry and in many foreign journals and anthologies. Signed: signed on the plinth: J.

Est: -
A charming oval necklace with a motif of a female nude and wine is topped with a brilliant cut diamond set in a white gold mounting. Drahonovsky once said of the glyptic: "Stone carving is actually sculpture in miniature. The knowledge of modelling, drawing, the knowledge of the laws of perfect relief, the harmony of graded surfaces, of light, all these form the basic values of good engraving in stone and glass." From 1918 onwards, he devoted himself to cutting glass and gems with great intensity, and glyptics completely absorbed him.
