Bohuslav Schnirch

Bohuslav Schnirch

Bohuslav Schnirch (1845 - 1901), was a Czech sculptor perhaps best known for his architectural sculpture. Schnirch sculpted 10 of the 20 roof statues, and the interior sculpted pediment, on Josef Zítek's 1881 National Theatre (Prague).

Other work includes the reliefs on the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, designed by architect Josef Schulz, and the two attic figural groups "Fire Alarm" and "Extinction of the Flames" on the Prague City Savings Bank, Old Town Square, for architect Osvald Polívka.

Schnirch was the teacher of Ladislav Šaloun among others.
