Annotation

The inspiration for the "Burial in the Carpathians" sculpture was a photograph from a Carpathian battlefield. The original group in Austrian uniforms was remade in 1920s into a memorial of victims of WWI and placed in the village Předměřice nad Jizerou, with copies in Místek and in Nové Město na Moravě.

Sculptor

Jan Štursa (Nové Město na Moravě 1880 - Praha 1925), Czech sculptor, one of founders of modern Czech sculpture (Wikipedia).
