I didn't know this is what this style was called. I think this is still alive and well in modern day Prague.
also I noticed that the line
The Baroque style originated in Rome at the end of the 16th century and the early 17th century, and has remained a prevailing style in European art for almost two centuries until it was shifted away from Classicalism in the late 18th century. Baroque art has been dramatically, splendidly and impressively evolving in various disciplines of public life and art such as architecture, music, fine arts and sculpture.
repeats in the first paragraph. I do it too when editing text all the time.
:]
thanks for the inspiration again!
Thank you for the fix.
Yes, it is in Prague. I observe it in some South American authors still write in this style. But Prague will always be a strange town for me. I have not been there, but I have heard stories about Kafka and how this city has changed his mind to write such strange works. Some people have said that there is something schizophrenic in the city that will distort your ideas. :D
it is a strange town indeed, you would love I think. The art galleries I visited there had transformed me in such a massive way, also it was amazing seeing this standard of living that I have seen only in historical contexts to still thrive and continue to develop in a city that is alive today and thriving it seems. Also, everything is surprisingly cheap, compared to other developed countries of course. I did notice a death stare from people when I asked they accept credit cards, and I began wondering if there is a link between the well being of the country and their rejection of credit cards.
I also had this vibe that everyone was in on something, but no one wanted to say what it was. Like Stepford Wives. But it is very magical and it left me wanting other places on earth to be better. I hope you'll get to visit it and share pictures from there. :]
ALSO. they have THE BEST Jesus Christ statue in all of Europe, he is inside the gothic cathedral inside the castle.
Wow, what you describe makes me even more want to go there. :D For me Prague is a literary city. City of Fiction. Like Saint Petersburg in Russia, these are the two cities that inspire writers to translate them into some imaginary language. More imagination than reality. You experience them through the books.
