Paintings by Jan Vytiska that make up an exhibition Revelation, they are a closed cycle of works that have been created in the last two years. Individual works were inspired by the last book New Testament, The revelation of St. John (Apocalypse). This text is attributed to Jana of Patmo and is one of the key biblical documents. Since the Middle Ages, he has also been one of the most compromised inspirational sources of art art. The text offers a number of strong and distinctive motifs that have inspired many artists. Examples are inexhaustible, since the late Middle Ages (Dirk Bouts), Renaissance (Pieter Brueghel Elder), Baroque (Peter Paul Rubens) to the art of the 19th century (John Martin). The exceptional place in this context has a cycle of watercolor visionary drawings by William Blake, which the author created between 1805 and 1810. Since then, this topic has been increasingly appeared in fine arts and a series of paintings Jan Vytiskka today creates an exceptional and distinctive contribution to almost interrupted tradition.
