About the piece
Jan Preisler's 1904 masterpiece, Black Lake (Černé jezero), is a definitive work of Czech Symbolism. The painting masterfully balances the bright, ethereal forms of the horse and youth against the impenetrable dark expanse of the water, creating a quiet, contemplative atmosphere that speaks to late-romantic mystery and longing.
