Milan Knobloch (1921–2020) was a Czech sculptor and
primarily a medalist.
Milan Knobloch is considered one of the most important students of the founder of the Czech medal-making school, Otakar Španiel. This is manifested in his perfect knowledge of the laws of relief creation, his mastery of portraiture, his meticulousness in creating type and the overall balance of composition. All these advantages stood out especially in the creation of small-sized artifacts, in medal-making. One of the important conditions for portraying a portrait is not only knowledge of physiognomy, but also empathy with the physiognomy and soul of the depicted person and capturing the atmosphere of the time. In creating busts or commemorative medals, it was also difficult because they were mostly people who had died many years or even centuries ago.
