Sgraffito ornamentation of the house U Minuty in the oldtown square
Bulínová, Kristýna ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Kropáček, Jiří (referee)
Sgraffito ornamentation of the house U Minuty (By the Minute) in the Old Town Square It is sure, that at the house U Minuty we can see two kinds of sgraffitos and therefore the decoration was done in two phases indeed. The sgraffitos are sorted out in the firs two floors and into the third floor with the lunet ledge. We know that the sgraffitos of the third floor were not completed sooner than 1576. In this year the wood-cuts were printed by Jost Amman in Norimberk. It seems that the sgraffitos at the first two floors are younger. 1610 is the important year, when the house is sold for marked higher price then it had been bought in 1601. The creation of both phases of ornamentation can be probably dated between 1576-1610, however, there is also the possibility that the sgraffitos can be dated also later on. Reffering to the iconographic study, we can see in the first two levels scenes from Old Testament, New Testament, stories from ancient mythology, one scene is based on telling from collection of Gesta Romanorum and Allegoric persons of Moralities. All scenes can be read as guides to moralities or to vices. The lunet ledge of the third floor is decorated by medallions of French kings, started by Philip V. up to Henry II.. As was already said these decorations are based on wood-cuts of Jost Amman...

Mach, Pavel ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Kropáček, Jiří (referee)
Carlo Valmadi (about 1550 - 1620) - a Renaissance architect in Trutnov region Theme of this bachelor work is a summary of Carlo Valmadi's building activities. This Italien Renaissance architect worked on Valdštejn lordship - Hostinné steam - from 1572 to 1620. This bachelor work is devided into several chapters. The first chapter describes a coming of Northern Italien builders to Bohemia, in the concrete to Prague. It speaks also about situation in Italy, which starved inhabitants of Northern Italien region into migration to Middle Europe. Next chapter discourses Carlo Valmadi's life. His life is still very unclear and we don't have enough information about him. The second part of this chapter describes Valmadi's coming to Bohemia. Another part speaks about building conditions in Renaissance Prague, especially about Rožmberk and Lobkovic palaces. These two remarkable buildings are connected mainly with Italien builders. And also Carlo Valmadi probably joined in building of Lobkovic palace. Then the chapter discusses coming of this builder to Hostinné region. He came there during rule of Jiří Valdštejn. Jiří Valdštejn's wife Marie Magdalena Lobkovic probably knew Walmadi's work and it's possible, that she invited Valmadi into this region. Marie Magdalena's father was a builder of Lobkovic palace...

The Renaissance Chapel of St. John the Baptist in the Archbishop's Palace in Prague
Opatrná, Marie ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Kropáček, Jiří (referee)
Resume The renaissance chapel S. John Baptist in Archbishop Palace in Prague Marie Opatrná Supervisor of assignment: PhDr. Martin Zlatohlávek PhD. The chapel in Archbishop Palace was built in honor of the Almighty God, the Virgin Mary, St. John the Baptist, St. John of Nepomuk and All Saints. This chapel is important and significant part of Rudolf's art. The chapel was founded by Zbyněk Berka z Dubé in 1599. There are not any signs of the previous existence of a chapel in the palace. All paintings on the roof were made by Daniel Alexius z Květné. In the chapel we can see these paintings: the Visitation, the Preaching of St. John the Baptist, the Baptism of Jesus and Dancing of Salome. Daniel Alexius z Květné was inspired by graphics of Cornelius Galle and Pietr Jansz Saenredam. The scene of the Miraculous rescue of the prince Jaromír was inspired by painting of a German anonym. This painting owns the National Gallery in Prague now. The pattern for the scene of The Holy Trinity is not known. The chapel is decorated with stucco decor. Its dating was questionable for a long time. I tend to the opinion that it was made in 1599 when the chapel was founded. In the nave, there are the gallery of clerical dignitaries, angels with Arma Christi and memorial tablet which reminds the renovation in 1676 and 1888. The...

Italian renaissance drawings of 1500-1520 in the national collections of the bohemian crown lands
Benčová, Monika ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Kropáček, Jiří (referee)
The work focuses on "Italian Renaissance Drawings from Years 1500-1520 in the Public Czech Collections". It describes the situation at the beginning of 16th century, including first two decades of the time. During those years the position of particular towns changed especially due to political situation. For a short time, Rome came on the top, too. It was under the pope Julius II., who tried to form and collect a unique set of artistic works. This ambition requested the presence of many significant artists. There are 16 drawings by 13 artists from that period in the Czech collection. These artists belonged to the different artistic schools: Filippino Lippi and Andrea del Sarto are from the Florentine school; Boccaccio Boccaccino, Francesco Casella and Tommaso Aleni from Cremona; Giovanni Bellini and Sebastian del Piombo from Venice; Amico Aspertini, Marcantio Raimondi and an anonymous artist came from the North Italy (Bologna); the last artists came from Rome: Raffael and Baldassare Peruzzi. In the end, two drawings of female figure (never published before) by an unknown author (called drawer of the first half of 16th century) are described. The main concern is set to a study of drawings (for a complete review it is supplied with a short biography of each artist), which are sorted according artistic...
