''The Slav Epic'' (''Slovanská epopej'' in Czech) is a monumental series of twenty large-scale paintings created by Czech Art Nouveau painter Alphonse Mucha. Conceived in 1899, Mucha devoted much of his artistic career to this work, which he considered his masterpiece. The series was not completed until 1928, a year before the artist's death. Each painting in the series is imbued with the history and mythology of the Slavic people, a subject close to Mucha's heart and central to his sense of national pride.

Spanning a vast array of sizes, with some canvases measuring over six meters in height, The Slav Epic was designed to celebrate the past, present, and future of the Slavic people. Mucha's inspiration for the series came from various sources, including folklore, historical events, and the cultural renaissance that was occurring in Slavic countries at the turn of the 20th century. The paintings blend a rich tapestry of symbolism, allegory, and historical narrative, showcasing Mucha's distinctive style, which is characterized by flowing lines, intricate detail, and a soft, pastel palette.

The creation of The Slav Epic was a labor of love and a philanthropic project for Mucha. He received financial support from the American philanthropist Charles Richard Crane, who shared his interest in Slavic culture. Mucha invested not only his own time and resources but also conducted extensive research, traveling to the places and studying the historical events he would depict to ensure authenticity and depth in his work.

Upon completion, Mucha donated the series to the city of Prague on the condition that the city builds a special pavilion for its display. The paintings have since been exhibited in various locations, and their ownership and exhibition have been subjects of legal and political debate. The Slav Epic remains one of the most significant and ambitious projects in Czech art, reflecting the nationalistic fervor and artistic innovation of the early 20th century and continuing to inspire a sense of cultural identity among the Slavic people.
