Benedikt Ried in late Gothic architecture northwest Bohemia - Louny
Bařicová, Lenka ; Scholz, Stefan (advisor) ; Kuthan, Jiří (referee)
Resumé Vliv Benedikta Rieda v severozápadních Čechách souvisí s celkovým historickým vývojem této oblasti, v těsném sousedství s německým územím, přijímající okolní vlivy a vzájemně se reflektující. Osobnost Benedikta Rieda, pozdně gotického královského architekta, v sobě ukrývá více otázek než odpovědí. Na které stále hledáme uspokojující odpovědi. Jisté je, že přínos Benedikta Rieda překračuje nacionální hranice a souvisí s celkovým středoevropským architektonickým děním. Hlavní otázkou této práce měla být spojitost mezi Benediktem Riedem a městem Louny. Město Louny má jedinečný archivní materiál dokládající průběh stavby svého kostela od zničujícího požáru po přípravu stavby, nákupu materiálu a mzdy dělníkům podílející se na této stavbě. S určitostí však nelze říci, zda všechny záznamy můžeme připsat přímo pro stavbu lounského kostela. Tak i personální působnost přes tyto hodnotné archivní informace nelze Benedikta Rieda potvrdit ani vyvrátit jako tvůrce a hlavního koncepčního autora. Tyto otázky si musíme klást pro nesporné kvality kostela sv. Mikuláše v Lounech po stránce architektonické a umělecké. Jistotu máme v určení políra této stavby, jehož známe právě z městských účtů je jím Mistr Pavel z Pardubic do doby stavby lounského kostela pracující na obnově města Pardubic. Severozápadní Čechy se mohou...

Chapters on panel painting of the beautiful style
Klípa, Jan ; Homolka, Jaromír (advisor) ; Kuthan, Jiří (referee) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
The work has a character of two parts of an intended larger unit. The first part considers the development and the comprehension of the basic terms/conceptions inherent to the arts of the break of the 14th and 15th centuries. It aims to cover general tendencies which crystalized within the frame of the process of the formulation of the following terms: international style, court style, beautiful style and others. The most detailed focus is withal dedicated to the history of the term beautiful style and its meaning in which Czech research had a significant role during the last century. General issues of the style in the fine arts of the late Middle Ages play a substantial role within the frame of the study of art around the year 1400 and no other treatment of this theme can get along without a historiographic reflection which would entitle and accept the contemporary and ideal conditionality of the basic terms. In the conclusion of the first part there are formulated hypothetical views related to the direction of the future studies of the questions of art around the year 1400 on the European and the local levels. The second part of the work is dedicated to the concrete issues of the form of this art in the Viennese painting of the first third of the 15th century and its relations to the Czech art of the...

The Neorenaissance Church Architecture in Bohemia and Moravia
Sládeček, Petr ; Kuthan, Jiří (advisor) ; Rakušanová, Marie (referee) ; Švácha, Rostislav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to systematically analyze the Neorenaissance churches and interpret them within the context of the nineteenth century architecture. During the second half of the nineteenth century in the central Europe the Neorenaissance style had become ubiquitous. However, its extensive use for secular buildings contrasts with the situation in the field of sacral architecture. New churches were designed mainly in the Neogothic style; the Neoromanesque style was also acceptable, though less frequent. Widespread reluctance towards the Renaissance, mainly among the clergy, but also among some architects, is considered to be the main reason. In monument preservation the cult of Gothic resulted in the Neogothic purism, to which usually fell victim any "ungothic" part of a historical building. Therfore, the number of Neorenaissance churches, compared to that of Neogothic, is significantly smaller. The Neo-Renaissance style, however enjoyed great popularity among Czech evangelical churches since the 1880's, mainly because it was considered to be less costly than the Gothic style. The Neorenaissance churches have not yet been systemically researched. Therfore, the research concentrates particularly on the archive materials that have not been published and are scattered around in many...
