The thesis focused mainly on scenic designes with connection to the aristocratic families. Timeline is defined by the work of Galli Bibiena's family and the work of Josef Platzer. The scenic decorations are presented on the background of Austrian and Italian influences that directly affected Czech culture and mutual connection with the other baroque theatres in the European cities.In this context, the question arises, which has become one of the main lines of thesis, whether there was purely Czech stage design influenced by European theater art or the application of Viennese and Italian designs on the Czech territory.And whether it can be referred to as "Czech stage art" or more generally Central European stage design. From the beginning, the work was designed to highlight the best examples. In my thesis I do not try to conceive completely the work of all well-known artists (scenographers), whether Czech or foreign, who have been involved in scenic creation in the Czech Republic, but I focus only on some examples that have significantly...
