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....

Crowns of Czech kings and royal crowns in the Middle Ages
Krupková, Klára Anna ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Ottová, Michaela (referee)
Crowns of Czech kings and royal crowns in the Middle Ages The bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of important medieval royal crowns, which played a key role in the European field of political and ecclesiastical events in the context of the Holy Roman Empire. The text is divided into three main sections, which focus on the historical and art-historical view of the crowns. In the introduction, a basic typology is differentiated and the idea of symbolism of crowns during the Middle Ages is closely studied. In the main part, the work focuses on selected European crowns, whose artistic tendencies intertwine and thus complement the idea of then high-quality goldsmith's craft style. The aim of the work is also to point out the perception of a crown at that time, considerably exceeding an image of a physical jewel, a symbol of a monarch and manifestation of power of majesty over a reigned territory. For example, in connection with the Lands of the Bohemian Crown under Charles IV Luxembourg the relation between the land and the crown was evident. Due to easily accessible sources, the work pays special attention to crowns of Czech origin, especially the crown of St. Wenceslas. In this context, the chosen topic is extended by chapters discussing coronation orders, coronation rituals, and the worship of...

Kutná Hora Antiphonary from the prague workshop of Valentine Noh of Jindřichův Hradec
Kořenková, Nikola ; Kubík, Viktor (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
The goal of this work is a monographic treatment of the Kutná Hora Antiphonary (Prague, NK XXIII A 2) from 1470-1471 in the context of the Prague workshop of Valentine Noh of Jindřichův Hradec. Its creator belongs to the generation of illuminators who helped to integrate, transform and overcome the heritage of the beautiful style tradition. The newly emerging style system significantly influenced book painting of the second half of the 15th century and the early 16th century. The work is based mostly on a combination of formal and iconographic analysis. The outcome of this work should be a refinement of the information on decoration and a summary assessment of the significance of the Kutná Hora Antiphonary for the development of book painting in our territory in the 2nd half of the 15th century and the early 16th century.

disertační práce v anglickém jazyce ALICE BARTŮŠKOVÁ MONASTIC RULES AND MUSES. THE CAPUCHIN FRIARS IN THE SERVICE OF THE ART IN EARLY BAROQUE BOHEMIA VEDOUCÍ PRÁCE: DOC. PHDR. MARTIN ZLATOHLÁVEK, PHD. Dissertation entitled Monastic rules and muses. The capuchin friars in the service of the art in early Baroque Bohemia set out for the purpose of research to the neglected theme of the Capuchin brothers - painters on the border between Mannerism and the Baroque era. This phenomenon in painting, which is not only characteristic for the order of the Capuchins, but also of other ecclesiastical orders, has never been more comprehensive. The Capuchin brother Paolo Piazza came to the Czech lands with first capuchin brothers; in his paintings he is inspired of the Venetian school of the 16th century. He was a versatile painter, he created not only painting on canvases, but also made wall paintings and his painting manuscript was not uniformly defined. Paolo Piazza worked in the capuchin monasteries in Prague and Brno during the reign of Rudolph II, for the emperor himself he created several artworks. Piazza's work has also been preserved in the engravings of the Sadeler family. Thanks to these engravings, several Piazza's compositions with a set iconographic type have spread to European fine arts. From the...

Kalina, David ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
Depictions of the Last Judgment Scene in the Czech Renaissance and Mannerism of the 15th and the 16th Centurie. The study submitted to fulfill the Bachelor Degree requirement, "Depictions of the Last Judgment Scene in the Czech Renaissance and Mannerism of the 15th and the 16th Centuries," analyzes several preserved frescoes with the theme of the Last Judgment and identifies their compositional and iconographic sources. The main ones are Johanes Sadeler's I. copper engravings of the Last Judgment (1550-1600). The graphic oeuvre of this Flemish artist, as the study demonstrates in a number of examples, exerted a considerable influence not only on his contemporaries but also on the art of later periods.

Evolution and Form of the three-aisle hall type layout in Bohemian sacral architecture to the mid-15th century
Beránek, Jan ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee) ; Benešovská, Klára (referee)
Evolution and form of the three-aisle hall type layout in Bohemian sacral architecture to the mid-15th century The hall church with two, three and rarely more aisles in German described as "Hallenkirche" is usually defined as having the aisles of the same or almost the same height as opposed to the basilica. With this type of organization the main nave is lit only indirectly because there is no space for basilica type windows. Other variants or transitional types are pseudohalls, sometimes also called pseudobasilicas (in German terminology Staffenhalle and Stufenhalle), which differ from the main type by having an elevated nave without the aforementioned direct light sources. These distinctions stem from a thought construct of art history which strives for strict taxonomy in their source material. The diversity of medieval architecture nevertheless proves that there is cannot be drawn a clear and decisive line between the basilical and hall type layouts, just as the distinction between the longitudinal and central floor plans. This is connected to the cultural semantics of the different types and the even more complicated question of the intentions of the choice. The hall type is spread all across medieval Europe from the Romanesque era to the end of the Middle Ages. This type of architecture was...

The Renaissance Transformation of the Castle at Horšovský Týn in the Time of Jan the Younger Popel of Lobkowicz after Year 1547
Havlicová, Jindřiška ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
Renesanční proměna sídla v Horšovském Týně za Jana mladšího Popela z Lobkowicz po roce 1547 Resumé Původně biskupský gotický hrad, který vznikl v polovině 13.století, získal roku 1539 Jan mladší Popel z Lobkowicz. Za jeho života byl po roce 1547 gotický hrad přestavěn v renesanční zámek. Jan mladší Popel z Lobkowicz byl významnou osobností své doby a tato skutečnost se odrazila také ve výzdobě zámku v Horšovském Týně. V ineriérech architektury, navržené italským architektem Agostinem Gallim, nechal Jan vzniknout rozsáhlou malířskou výzdobu. Nejpozoruhodnější je zachycení zemského soudu prostřednictvím erbů jeho členů z roku 1558. Po smrti Jana mladšího Popela z Lobkowicz spravovala sídlo jeho třetí manželka Alžběta z Roggendorfu spolu s Janovým dědicem Kryštofem. V roce 1587 dosáhl plnoletosti Kryštofův bratr Vilém, který se získal Horšovský Týn. Přestože Jan mladší Popel z Lobkowicz byl katolíkem, Vilém se velmi brzy přiklonil k protestantismu, což se stalo osudným dalšímu vývoji zámku v Horšovském Týně. Po bitvě na Bílé hoře mu byl majetek zkonfiskován a roku 1623 prodán hraběti Maxmiliánu z Trauttmansdorffu.
