There is something about Prague in the rain that feels more authentic than the sunny postcards, isn't there? This large vertical oil painting by Alexey Slusar captures exactly that mood—the moment the rain stops and the stones of the Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí) turn into a mirror.

If you have ever stood in the heart of Prague, you will recognize the composition immediately. On the left, the sturdy, golden-hued masonry of the Old Town Hall tower stands guard, while the gothic spires of the Church of Our Lady before Týn pierce the grey sky in the background. But the real magic here happens on the ground.

Slusar is a master of "wet" pavement. Using confident, textured brushstrokes and palette knife work, he creates reflections that elongate the architecture, pulling the colors of the buildings down into the street. You can almost smell the wet cobblestones just looking at it. The vertical format (125 x 50 cm) makes this a striking piece, perfect for narrow wall spaces or hallways that need a window into another world.

The colors are muted yet rich—ochres, burnt siennas, and slate greys—making it easy to integrate into a modern living room or a classic study. It’s not just a souvenir; it’s a piece of the city’s soul.
