Abstract
The wall paintings in the St. Wenceslas chapel of Prague St.
Vitus Cathedral are the work of the first decade of the 16th century. They show the life of the most important national patron of Bohemia.
It is apparent that King Vladislav II borrowed the Saint Wenceslas idea from his predecessor on the Bohemian throne, Charles IV, and used it as an instrument of his political programme.
