Vlastimil Rada

Vlastimil Rada (5 April 1895 – 22 December 1962) was a Czech painter and book illustrator.

In the late 1920s, he created a number of monumental landscapes, which are considered his best works.

In the 1930s, Rada switched to realism, using mostly brown, grey, and green colors.

In particular, Rada illustrated books by Charles Dickens and Jan Neruda.

In 1976, there was a personal exhibition of works by Rada in the Prague Castle, and another one in 1999–2000 at the Lobkowicz Palace.
