The charming historical centre is separated from the rest of the town by gates and surrounded by romantic fishponds named “Staroměstský”, “Ulický” and “Štěpnický”. The extensive Renaissance chateau grounds with impressive interiors and valuable collections are surrounded by a luxurious garden and park.

A historical square full of luxurious architecture

Apart from the chateau, the square is also an impressive sight here, representing the cultural and tourist centre of the town. It is made up of original historical buildings in a Renaissance and Baroque style which are decorated with frescoes, sgraffito and the decorative gables really do stand out. The dominant feature in Telč is the Tower of the Holy Spirit, offering luxurious views of the town and its surrounding areas. Points of architectural interest on the square include the Marian Colum, the Church of St. Jacob with a tower reaching 60 metres in height and two fountains decorated with statues.

Photos on the covers of Vogue

Irving Penn lived in 1917-2009. During the World War 2, he became famous for his photos of models, glamour and luxury. He worked for the fashion magazine Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and his name soon became well-known in the world of fashion.

Irving Penn’s photos are simple, and he was the first photographer to make use of the grey and white backgrounds. His luxurious shots are clean and straightforward; instead of flash he uses natural light sources, and a small detail in the background often intentionally makes it clear that the shot was taken in an atelier.

Salvador Dali and Karolína Kurková

Not all of his photos were famous. In 1949-1950, he made photos of a number of distinct models, but these were not shown to the public until 1980. On the other hand, some other photos were very famous. Which, you ask? For instance, he captured the Czech model Karolína Kurková for the cover of Vogue. Other well-known personalities that he immortalized were for instance Martha Graham, Marlene Dietrich, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dalí.

Aside from the above, he also took luxurious still-life pictures which he then used to create abstract compositions. Among others, he worked with Czech photographer Jiří Poláček when making photos of skulls in the National Museum in Prague.
