The inn "U Kohoutu" by Karel Votlucka - Plzen, Czech Republic - Paintings Then and Now on Waymarking.com

This painting differs from the existing Votlucka paintings in that it is neither a brewing house nor an important Pilsen monument. The painting was commissioned from Karel Votlucka by the owner of the then inn "U kohoutu". The inn has survived in the building until today, only under a different name.


The author of this painting is Karel Votlucka, a native of Pilsen (born on October 1, 1896, Pilsen – June 2, 1963, Pilsen), a Czech painter, graphic artist, and illustrator. Votlucka had a keen interest in architecture. Throughout his life, he created several hundred drawings of various buildings from places where he studied and subsequently lived, such as Prague, Pilsen, Domažlice, or places he visited, including Trnava, Hodonín, Olomouc, and Brno. Some of these drawings were then published in books such as "Plzenské pomnenky", "Stará Plzen ocima Karla Votlucky", "Pražská nádvorí" and "Stará Plzen."

This drawing comes from the book "Stará Plzen ocima Karla Votlucky". The book is available for example directly in Pilsen in the library of the West Bohemian Museum (visit link) .
