Secession is the name for Art Nouveau in Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria and all the areas that until 1914 belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
In Prague, Art Nouveau transcended mere aesthetics, becoming a powerful expression of Czech identity and cultural renewal within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The movement resonated deeply with the city’s diverse communities, offering a modern, progressive visual language that reflected Prague’s aspirations for autonomy and artistic innovation. Though initially met with resistance from conservative circles, Art Nouveau found enthusiastic support among the city’s burgeoning middle class, including the Jewish bourgeoisie, who embraced it as a symbol of their evolving place in society.
By the late 19th century, Prague was undergoing a dramatic transformation, its population swelling and its skyline expanding with a wave of new construction. Many of these buildings were adorned in the sinuous lines and organic motifs of Art Nouveau, a style that left an indelible mark on the city. At the forefront of this architectural revolution was Osvald Polívka, often hailed as Prague’s answer to Gaudí, whose visionary designs—such as the Municipal House—blended national pride with artistic daring. Other key figures, including Bedřich Bendelmayer and Jan Kotěra, contributed iconic works that defined the city’s aesthetic, from grand public buildings to intimate residential spaces.
Today, Prague’s Art Nouveau legacy endures, with several of its masterpieces—like the Hotel Central and the Topičův Salon—celebrated as cultural treasures. Efforts are underway to preserve and honor these landmarks, ensuring that the movement’s spirit continues to inspire future generations.
