The artists of the period contributed to the decoration of the National Theatre, which became a focal point of artistic expression of the nation. One of the artists involved was Mikolá Ale who decorated the foyer along with Frantiek eníek. Ale is widely regarded within the Czech Republic as one of its greatest artists. Other artists of the national revival included Ale's colleagues at the Mánes Union of Fine Arts, artists at the Association of Moravian Artists such as Anto Frolka and Alois Kalvoda, and Max vabinský. The most important artist of this period is Alfons Mucha. The work he is most known for is his commercial art from the 1890s which he created in Paris. However, he considered his masterpiece to be the Slav Epic, a visual exploration of the history of the Slavic peoples of Eastern Europe.
