It is through their eyes of artists that we still see the dynasty which ruled England for just over a century.

One of the best-loved composers of all time, Dvorák rose from rural origins to become not only a great but an influential composer. The first composer to put his native Bohemia on the musical map of the world, he was invited to do the same for America.
