Скачать или смотреть Shadows of Prague: a crime scene frozen in paint, where the killer might still be watching.

In 1890, Jakub Schikaneder painted Murder in the House, capturing a chilling scene from the streets of Prague’s Jewish quarter. A young woman lies lifeless on the cold ground, her blood marking the silence of the night. The house behind her shows signs of violence—the shutters torn off, a hole in the window suggesting a break-in. On the doorframe, a bloody handprint leaves a haunting trace of struggle and despair. Neighbors gather in shock, their faces a mix of fear and suspicion. Whispers ripple through the crowd: who could have committed such brutality? Some believe the murderer might even be among the onlookers, returning to relive the crime, as criminals often do. Schikaneder’s painting does not just depict a body—it reflects a society unsettled by violence, secrecy, and the darkness lurking behind familiar walls.
