Description


The astronomical clock of Prague is located in the Old Town Quarter. It ornates the Town Hall and is a real masterpiece. It was made by Hanus in 1490. According to the legend he has been blinded when he finished the clock. Thus he couldn't reproduce it somewhere else. Well, it was Middle Ages ! Now the tourists admire it and are delighted to see the characters on the left and on the right move each hour. ********* L'horloge astronomique de Prague est située dans le quartier de l'Ancienne Ville et est un véritable chef d'oeuvre. Elle a été construite en 1490 par Hanus, un maître horloger. La légende raconte qu'il a été rendu aveugle quand il eut fini son travail pour qu'il ne puisse plus la reproduire ailleurs ! C'est le Moyen Âge ! Aujourd'hui, elle fait le bonheur des touristes qui aiment voir les personnages à gauche et dreoite s'animer toutes les heures ! ********* Thanks for your comments on my last image ! I appreciate very much ! Have a safe sunday evening ! Virginie MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected

It is magnificent. And all the more remarkable for its longevity and continuance despite the many wars which must swept through Prague. I don't like the sound of the legend. Not something I would imagine any enlightened leader (who else would commission such a work) doing such a terrible turn to someone so keen of mind and graceful of art.
