Augustin Němejc

[2] His painting "Hopeless Love" won a major award at the General Land Centennial Exhibition in 1891.

It also earned him a one-year scholarship to study in Paris where he worked with Vojtěch Hynais, who had created the curtain for the Prague National Theater.

[1] In 1900, as a result of this experience, he was commissioned to create a curtain for the new Josef Kajetán Tyl Theatre.

At about the same time, he painted lunettes at the recently completed West Bohemian Museum [cs].

[1] He also created monumental paintings for the Higher Economic School, now a satellite institute of Charles University.
