Master B with the Die from the collection of National Gallery in Prague
Veselá, Markéta ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee)
The aim of this essay is an assessment of an anonymous engraver's work from the early 16th century whose monogram is a cube with a letter B. The essay is divided into two separate main units. The first enclosed unit includes texts helping us to create a partial picture of the Master's life. There are information dealing with a cultural environment and a technological development of the graphic art in the times of the Master's existence. The second unit is a char- acterization and a detailed analysis of selected pieces of work with an accent on the technologi- cal aspect of the prints. The creation of the Master's B of the Die life story was very difficult considering the lack of the literature. After a thorough search in libraries and on the internet not even one continu- ous text concerning directly this artist has been found. Incomplete information have been found only in collected encyclopaedias about art. For drawing-up at least a short life story accessible information about cultural environment of the then humanistic society have been used which are composed in a separate chapter. The next separate part of a lesser extent is interested in edi- tors co-operating in the Master's B of the Die environment and participating on the production of his graphics. Together with the analysis of the...

Works by "Netherlandish" masters od the 17th century from the collection of Count Humprecht Jan Černín
Ryantová, Zdislava ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee)
The first chapter of this work deals with the life of Count Humprecht Jan Černín, who was a leading Bohemian baroque art collector. The next chapter describes the formation of the Czernin picture gallery during the life of Humprecht Jan Černín, its development under his successors until it ceased to exist at the end of the 18th century, and a subsequent attempt to restore it. In the third chapter we come to the main theme - the collection of Netherlandish masters. I summarize the extant sources for this part of the collection and I describe its formation. I focus on the masters and themes which are represented in this collection and I examine the role played by Humprecht Jan Černín in their selection. The last chapter describes three paintings by Netherlandish masters from the collection of Humprecht Jan Černín, which have been preserved in Bohemia. I describe the literature relating to these works, their provenance, and also the painter, if we know who it was. I place the main emphasis on the themes of these paintings.

The Sovereign and Representation. Josef I. in graphics
Fedrová, Stanislava ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Mádl, Martin (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the iconographical analysis of the imperial representation of Joseph I and its literal and emblematic sources in graphics (university theses, book engravings) primarily from Czech and selectively also Austrian collections. The sophisticated concepts of sovereigns' glorifications of 17th and 18th century reside in the rhetoric figures representing continuity between the sovereign and the ancient Roman empire, solar symbolism of the triumph over the enemy, figures originating in the ancient mythology or pietas Austriaca, which is presented as a typical virtue of the Habsburg family. The young successor and afterward emperor is celebrated as a culmination of political, diplomatic and war successes of the Habsburg Empire and as an example of the rulers and human virtues also, among them the especially position has wisdom and justice. Principles of this iconography represent - in the case of Joseph I whose reign was very brief - an interesting and not so known intermediate stage between the well-developed "images" of Leopold I and Karel VI.

Sebastiano Luciani (called del Piombo) and his cooperation with Raphael in Rome between 1511 and 1517
Konečná, Kateřina ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the early Roman work of Sebastiano Luciani, later called del Piombo. Sebastiano came from Venice and he went to Rome at the invitation of a wealthy merchant Agostino Chigi, which allowed him to work in his Villa Farnesina. Here in the Sala di Galatea Sebastiano painted al fresco technique eight lunettes with themes from Ovid's Metamorphoses and also created a separate fresco of the Polyphemus. Thanks to this first Roman commission he got in touch with the leading artists of that period, especially with Raphael, who also worked for Chigi. Raphael made a famous fresco of the Galatea in the same hall and he didn't try to follow Sebastiano's style. Their rivalry and influence on each other continued after Sebastiano left the Villa. Competition between them was also amplified by Sebastiano's friendship with Michelangelo, who was considered to be the exact opposite of Raphael. Michelangelo also created praparatory drawings for del Piombo, as the penultimate chapter outlines. The last chapter is devoted to the painting of Madonna with the veil, which is the only Sebastiano's painting in the Czech collections. Keywords Sebastiano del Piombo, Sebastiano Luciani, Rome, Villa Farnesina, Raphael

Aspects of humour in visual arts of the Early Modern
Bartlová, Anežka ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (referee)
Ve své práci jsem se věnovala obrazu Hanse von Aachena Smějící se sedláci z pohledu smíchové kultury a jejích konotací ve dvorské kultuře Rudolfa II. Tento obraz jsme zkoumala v porovnání s obrazy podobných námětů slavností sedláků. Výsledkem mého zkoumání bylo zjištění, že zkoumaný obraz nemá s ostatními díly s tematikou sedláckých slavností mnoho společného, že jde spíše o typ portrétu. Námětem obrazu je pravděpodobně soukromá hra malíře a adresáta obrazu. Hra se odehrává mezi divákem a zobrazenými postavami, zajímavě je také rozehrána hra s mediem obrazu samým. Annotation I have chosen Hans von Aachen's image Laughing peasants for my work and I suggest its interpretation from the point of "vulgar" culture of laughter and also its connection with art at the court of Rudolf II. I have recompared the picture with some images depicting a similar topic of peasant's festivals. RI suggest as a conclusion that the image has no connection with these works, and I think it is more likely a certain type of portrait. The correct topic of von Aachen`s image is private a play between the painter and recepient. This interplay is enacted between the beholder and figures in the image and another interesting play takes place concerning the image medium itself.
