Jean Baptiste Mathey (c. 1630 – c. 1695) was a French architect and painter born in Dijon.[1]
Between 1675 and 1694, Mathey worked in Prague.[1] He enjoyed a remarkable career in which his French planning and devotion to classical rationality (as opposed to the luxuriance of Italian Baroque) were a conscious artistic challenge to established taste. Mathey was commissioned by the Archbishop of Prague, Johann Friedrich, to construct the Chateau Troja, which he worked on from 1676 to 1694.[1] In 1679, he also helped design the Kreuzherrenkirche.[2] He received Prague citizenship in 1684 but never joined a guild.[2]
His plans were also probably used for the construction of the Church of Saint Roch in the Prague then-suburb of Žižkov.[citation needed]
Count of Waldstein, later the Archbishop of Prague, was apprised with Mathey and brought him to Duchcov for the purpose of rebuilding the Castle of Dux.[citation needed]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
