Prague became the cradle of tremendous events; mighty happenings, spiritual movements which stirred mankind to their depth, had their origins here, filling the town with strife and excitement and at time shaking her to her vary foundations. It was here that the first German University was founded. The monuments of this splendid city have a significance for humanity over and above their artistic value. Yet, is not Prague herself--that "golden city of the hundred towers" among the most beautiful of the earth, built up and embellished in the course of centuries by so many different nations, by Germans united with Latins and Slaves--in its entirety one great work of art. Is not she herself a proof that differences in character can achieve a work of perfect artistic unity? Surely the day will come when this truth will make her citizens--and perhaps all good Europeans--forget the barriers of language. Exax was educated at the Art Institute of Experimental Graphics (Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt) under Rudolf von Larisch , among others. from 1914 to 1917 he was a War Photographer for the Austrian Army and some of his photos can be seen in many newspapers from those days.from 1921 to 1925 he moved first to Greece and then to Italy where he worked as a Freelance Graphic Artist.after returning to Vienna, he founded his own company that didn't bring him the desired results, so he opened a new studio named 'Exax-Antl' where he worked until 1945 when he moved to Carinthia , continuing to work as a graphic artist. Prague is a political, cultural, and economic center of central Europe complete with a rich history. Founded during the Romanesque and flourishing by the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque eras, Prague was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the main residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably of Charles IV (r. 1346-1378). It was an important city to the Habsburg Monarchy and its Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia between the World Wars and the postwar Communist era. Prague is home to a number of well-known cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of 20th-century Europe. Main attractions include Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with the Prague astronomical clock, the Jewish Quarter, Pet ín hill and VyÅ¡ehrad. Since 1992, the extensive historic center of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. The city has more than ten major museums, along with numerous theaters, galleries, cinemas, and other historical exhibits. It is home to Charles University, the oldest university in Central Europe.
