This nice classic mosaic in style of early Christian art, work of Czech painter and artist Viktor Foerster, is young in comparison with the medieval church - originates from the first decade of the XXth century. Viktor Foerster (1867-1915) was artist who became known as the founder of modern mosaic art techniques in the Czech lands.

The highest church in Prague, with 34 m high vault, Our Lady of the Snows was supposed to be the second largest religious monument in the kingdom, right after the St. Vitus Cathedral. It was never completed on that scale. Still, it is very large and it may also pride itself on the largest, 29 m high, altar in the capital. It is also known for its tombs, where many important Czechs rest.
