Green Chambers and Mural Painting in Secular Spaces at the End of the Middle Ages
 Dienstbier, Jan ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Jakubec, Ondřej (referee) ; Gerát, Ivan (referee)
The thesis presents a detailed analysis of the late medieval murals in the so-called 'green chamber' of Žirovnice Castle and similar late-medieval mural paintings. Compared to the earlier literature the study focuses on the interrelations between the scenes depicted in the 'green chamber': the Judgement of Paris, Judith beheading Holofernes, the exemplum An Old Woman Is Worse than the Devil as well as an image which was previously described as the Judgement of Solomon (perhaps rather a parable about legitimate and illegitimate progeny). They are compared with other depictions of these themes and their treatment in contemporary literature. These comparisons link them with the popular concept of a critique of the power of women (Weibermacht). In Žirovnice, and similarly elsewhere, this concept was connected to the allegory of the transcience of love and the ephemeral nature of the world overall. The ostensible genre depictions of the hunt and tournament can be interpreted in this sense as well. This is demonstrated by numerous details subverting the meaning of these images.

The late gothic panel painting in mining towns of central Slovakia
 Šugár, Martin ; Homolka, Jaromír (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee) ; Gerát, Ivan (referee)
The subject covers the collection of master paintings of high quality which are a part of altar retabulums dated to the last quarter of 15th and the begining of 16the centuries. They document the artistic development of mining towns in central Slovakia (out of which Kremnica, Banska Štiavnica and Banská Bystrica are the most notable ones). An important part of artistic development formation in the region was taken by Benedictine Monastery in Hronský Beňadik. The conserved resource origins from many anonymous painters. Ouf of them a crucial part belongs mainly to Master of Kremnica (short time ago named Master from Lúčky, in hungarian Jánosréti Mester), and Master Jakub. The biggest response belongs to the masterpiece of Master MS - panels from the former High altar in The Church of St. Catherine in Banská Štiavnica from 1506. The painters workshop existence is not approved by documents. Their activities might be documented only by analysing the masterpieces themselves. At the beginning their typical features were influenced by Little-Poland art (altarpieces created for Dominican and Augustinian Monasteries in Cracow), Lower-Rhine art (Master FVB / Frans van Brugge, Master of the Life of the Virgin / Meister des Marienlebens), Upper-Rhine art (Martin Schongauer) and Swabian art (Bernhard Strigel).
