'''''The Student of Prague''''' is an oil, plates, horns and Bondo on wood painting by [[Julian Schnabel]] created in 1983. This is one of his most famous "plate paintings", currently at the [[Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum]] in [[New York City|New York]].
Schnabel was one of the painters who reacted against the styles of [[minimalism]] and [[conceptualism]] and became a leading name of [[neo-expressionism]], in the [[United States]] and abroad, in the early 1980s. He was inspired for his "plate paintings" by a visit to [[Antoni Gaudí]]'s [[Park Güell]] in [[Barcelona]], and by the proportions of his closet wall in his Spanish hotel room.
This painting is composed by six panels and seems to have drawn inspiration from Christian art and references. Several crucifizes are presented among a large quantity of broken china vessels, in a structure that seems to evoque religious tryptich altarpieces, from which a lone, ghost-like figure emerges. Katherine Brisson states that "Despite these religious overtones and the work’s flamboyant scale and sense of theatre, there is no suggestion of sublime transportation or spiritual succor. Rather, the topography of jagged fragments, eroding the harmony of the traditional two-dimensional picture plane, offers a troubling vision of a chaotic and shattered world (...)".<ref>[https://ift.tt/30M5XXF The Student of Prague, Solomon R.
