Prague's Nooks and Crannies in the Drawings of Rudolphian Masters
Olbert, Erich ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Muchka, Ivan (referee)
Around 1600, Pieter II. Stevens, Paulus van Vianen and Roelandt Savery created an extraordinary set of vedute during their stay in Prague. The Rudolphian vedute differ from earlier depictions of the same locality in that they contain mostly intimate city scenes. These works, as well as other Prague views by other Rudolphian artists, are the main subject of the bachelor thesis. I first discuss the artistic context that is a prerequisite for their proper understanding. Then I make an effort to assemble them in the most complete way to date and provide a topographical analysis of them. All this will ultimately enable me to evaluate the degree of uniqueness of the landscape art at the Rudolphian court, to differentiate the approach of each artist and to determine to what extent the Prague views are authentic. KEYWORDS drawing, veduta, topography, Rudolph II, Prague, Pieter II Stevens, Paulus van Vianen, Roelandt Savery

Sebastiano Serlio, Libro estraordinario and renaissance and manneristic portals in Prague
Ludvíková, Veronika ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Muchka, Ivan (referee)
Sebastiano Serlio is one of the most notable theoreticians of Renaissance architecture. He is sometimes also referred to as the first theoretician of Mannerism in architecture. The present thesis is first concerned with Serlio's predecessor, the ancient theoretician of architecture Vitruvius. It points out Vitruvius' key thoughts, especially the ones which most potently influenced the work of Sebastiano Serlio. The thesis further relates to Serlio's life and the important moments of his life either during his stay in his homeland, Italy, or later in France. The greatest feat of Serlio in the domain of architecture is his theoretical work: a tractate on architecture published successively in volumes. Serlio's contribution lies chiefly in the formulation of the five orders of architecture and also in his capability of captivating the reader, the use of a language level familiar to a wide audience, and the clarity of the information given. Such literary qualities are also characteristic of the "Libro estraordinario" (the"Extraordinary Book", or the "Outstanding Book") which is of particular attention in the present thesis. "Libro estraordinario" is solely devoted to a single architectonic element: the portal. It consists of two parts: "Porte rustiche" and "Porte dilicate". Each portal type is provided with a...
