Kratochvíl, Pavel ; Pospíšil, Aleš (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
The bachelor thesis follows a historical development and conservation of the Philosophical Hall of the library of Premonstratensian Monastery at Strahov, whose exclusive interior equipment was transferred out from the sister monastery in Louka near Znojmo and thus protected againts the destructive effects of the Josef II reforms. The new emerging building of the library at Strahov was adapted for the monumental architectural bookcases in the spirit of the late Baroque Classicism style. Abbot V. J. Mayer, the main initiator of the birth of Philosophical Hall, came with the idea to purchase the Louka's cabinets. He wished to preserve the most authentic form of the Biblioteka in Louka and so he called up F. A. Maulbertsch to realize the similar ceiling fresco. In 2010, the shell and interior restoration was completed, which brought a number of key findings and also application of the recent methodological approaches of conservation.

Holasová, Anežka ; Oulíková, Petra (advisor) ; Vymazalová, Marie (referee)
Fresco works by Lukáš Vávra in South Bohemia This diploma thesis is devoted to the work of the late Baroque fresco painter, and Vyšší Brod Cistercian, Lukáš Vávra. His artistic legacy has not yet been documented in its entirety, nor has it been examined historically. This thesis is the first effort in this direction. It is based on data drawn mainly from the Historical Archive of the Vyšší Brod Monastery, as well as from other archival sources. Vávra's works are included in this discussion, especially the frescoes in the monasteries of Vyšší Brod and Zlatá Koruna, as well as framed paintings that have been preserved. With the help of relevant respected sources, Vávra's artistic endeavors are then placed in the cultural and historical context of Southern Bohemia. This relates primarily to the Schwarzenberg Dominions in South Bohemia as well as the environment of the South Bohemian Cistercian monasteries in Vyšší Brod and in Zlatá Koruna.

The sarcophagus of Tomaš Špidlík in Velehrad in the wider spiritual and artistic context of Centro Aletti in Rome.
Šefernová, Marie ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
This thesis deals with the modern sarcophagus designed for cardinal Tomáš Špidlík SJ (1919- 2010), located in the basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saints Cyril and Methodius in Velehrad. The sarcophagus was created in the Atelier of Liturgical art of Centro Aletti in Rome in 2010. The main target of the thesis is to put in the creation and emplacement of the masterpiece into the wider spiritual and artistic context. In order to introduce the Centro Aletti's liturgical art, it is important to focus on Špidlik's thoughts about art on theological background. His theological direction and spiritual guidance were a resource for a painter and jesuit Marko Ivan Rupnik (*1954) and Špidlik's disciple and the head of Centro Aletti in Rome. A significant part of the work is focused on the emplacement of the sarcophagus in the basilica of Velehrad, famous for the cult of saints Cyril and Methodius. The main part of the thesis deals with the formal analysis and iconographic interpretation of the topics depicted on the sides of the sarcophagus from a methodological point of view. This also applies to other attached pieces of art as the bronze inscription on the lid by the sculptor Otmar Oliva (*1952) and the panel with Špidlik's motto, which is to be found behind the sarcophagus....
