The Apotheosis of the Slavs (1926), No. 20 and the last canvas of The Slav Epic, sums up Slav history in four colour zones: blue for the past, red for the Hussite wars, black for the enemy and yellow for the free present. A golden young man spreads his arms wide at the top, a rainbow arcs at upper right with a Christ figure faintly behind, and below, crowds in white and figures holding green branches raise their arms. The young man and the rainbow are the landmarks; sorting the blurred crowds below by the four colour zones makes them manageable.
