Bohumír Dvorský is one of the most prominent personalities who depicted the Czech landscape, at the same time he also painted still life paintings extensively and flowers. In his work he was influenced by Julius Mařák and Paul Cézanne. Dvorský's colour palette, which initially consisted of cold tones, changed under the influence of the landscape of South Moravia, where he retreated to Svatý Kopeček near Olomouc during the war, to a palette of warm tones to exultant yellows and reds. He is described as a painter of light and optimism. He remained faithful to his artistic programme throughout his creative life.
