"Design for a stained-glass window in St. Vitus Cathedral, 1931" is a notable work by the Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist Alphonse Maria Mucha (1860–1939). This design is part of Mucha's significant contribution to the art and architecture of St. Vitus Cathedral, a prominent Gothic cathedral situated within the Prague Castle in the Czech Republic. The cathedral is a key religious building and a treasure of Bohemian art that has been under construction for many centuries, with contributions from various artists over time.

Mucha's design, created in 1931, was for a stained-glass window that was to be integrated into the cathedral's existing architectural and artistic framework. The window, which was eventually realized and installed, is a testament to Mucha's distinctive style, characterized by flowing lines, organic shapes, and a harmonious blend of colors. His work often featured Slavic motifs and patriotic themes, which are also evident in the stained-glass window design for St. Vitus Cathedral.

The window, funded by the Slavia Bank, depicts the young Saint Wenceslas with his grandmother Saint Ludmila in the center, surrounded by episodes from the lives of Saints Cyril and Methodius who were missionaries to the Slavs. The design incorporates Mucha's signature elements such as halos, decorative floral patterns, and intricate clothing details, all of which are rendered in a way that complements the light-filtering quality of stained glass.

Alphonse Mucha's contribution to St. Vitus Cathedral through this design is a significant example of his later work, where he focused on projects that emphasized his Czech heritage and national pride. The window not only showcases Mucha's artistic prowess but also serves as a cultural and historical artifact that reflects the national identity and religious sentiment of the Czech people during the early 20th century.

The "Design for a stained-glass window in St. Vitus Cathedral, 1931" remains an important piece within Mucha's oeuvre and is a celebrated part of the artistic heritage within St. Vitus Cathedral, attracting visitors and art enthusiasts from around the world who are keen to witness the fusion of Gothic architecture with Art Nouveau design.
