Stoneová, Monika ; Homolka, Jaromír (advisor) ; Ottová, Michaela (referee)
Resume Mural paintings in the Saint Vitus, Wenceslas and Adalbert Cathedral from Charles IV. and Wenceslas IV. period - Monika Stoneova Subject of this thesis is mural painting at the Saint Vitus, Wenceslas and Adalbert Cathedral. These are fragments of mural painting in six of the thirteen gothic chapels and mosaic at the front face of ceremony south entrance. Chapels are namely Saxon's, Vlasim's, Canon's, Simon's and Juda's, Saint Anne and Saint Wenceslas Chapel. Accordance with existing research, we can divide the paintings at Vlasim's, Canon's, Saxon's and Saint Wenceslas Chapel into two author's ranges. The first artist created paintings in Vlasim's Chapel for archbishop Jan Očko z Vlašimi. There is the painting of St. Otylia christening on the eastern wall and painting of Dolorous Christ and St. Catherine decapitation on the western wall. The Paintings were created between 1378, when Jan Očko z Vlašimi became a cardinal and January 1380, when he died. Lower painting strip in St. Wenceslas Chapel is also attributed to this artist, but considering later overpaintigs it is uncertain. Subject of the paintings is passio Christi, completed with incrustation. Donator of those paintings was Karel IV during 1372 and 1373, after chapel consecration in 1367.

Woodcarving in 13th century in Bohemia and Moravia. The chapters from the beginnings of woodcarving tradition in Central Europe
Mudra, Aleš ; Homolka, Jaromír (advisor)
Řezbářství 13. století v Čechách a na Moravě dosud nebyla věnována velká pozornost a příliš toho o něm nevíme. Ještě před takovými třiceti lety by nedávalo příliš smyslu uvažovat o práci na podobné téma. Důvodů bylo hned několik. Některé řezbářské památky 13. století tehdy nebyly známy, jiné byly známy jen ze starých fotografií, další se nacházely v těžko dostupných zahraničních sbírkách a sakrálních stavbách a psalo se o nich v literatuře, kterou nebylo snadné získat. Ostatní sochy nebyly řazeny do adekvátních souvislostí nebo se předpokládalo datum jejich vzniku v pozdější době. O těch několika málo památkách, s nimiž mohli tehdy čeští historici umění pracovat, panovalo mezi odbornou veřejností jen velmi slabé povědomí.

Jančárková, Julie ; Homolka, Jaromír (advisor) ; Dostálová, Růžena (referee) ; Vavřínek, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis concentrates on the life and work of Nikolai Lvovich Okunev (1885- 1949), an important historian of art and representative of Medieval studies, Professor at Charles University in Prague. His research work, that already began during his studies at the University in Saint Petersburg, meant an important contribution to studies in the field of Old Russian, Byzantine and Medieval Armenian Art and Architecture. After he had left his native country for political reasons, he was living in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1920-1923, then in 1923-1949 in Czechoslovakia. For more than 20 years he lectured at Charles University in Prague where he educated a number of disciples. He was a member of the Institute of Slavonic Studies, a founder of the Archive and Gallery of the Slavonic art atttached to the Institute, an editor of the scientific journal Byzantinoslavica. His works published during the emigration were devoted especially to Medieval monuments in Serbia and Macedonia. Okunev's research work and his cultural involvement are presented in the thesis in the wide context of research activities of different institutions (Russian Archaeological Institute in Constantinople, University of Saint Petersburg, Charles University, Institute of Slavonic Studies and the Slavonic Library in Prague),...

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 work of Matěj Rejsek - the Powder Tower
Císlerová, Michaela ; Homolka, Jaromír (advisor) ; Benešovská, Klára (referee)
Před několika lety jsem v rámci semináře ikonografie psala práci o fenoménu signatury a signování uměleckých děl. Je všeobecně známé, že v období středověku byla umělecká díla signována velice vzácně, a to nejen u nás, ale i v celé Evropě. Při hledání konkrétnějšího tématu mé práce jsem se setkala s osobností Matěje Rejska, který v tomto ohledu představuje jednu ze vzácných výjimek. Tento proslulý stavitel a kamenický mistr pozdního středověku, žijící a tvořící v Čechách ve druhé polovině 15. století a počátkem století následujícího, svá kamenická i architektonická díla často opatřoval nepřehlédnutelnými signaturami a nápisy. Už tato skutečnost naznačuje, že před námi stojí osobnost navýsost pozoruhodná a výjimečná, která dodnes nutně vzbuzuje zvědavost i zájem. O to více zaráží, že tomuto přednímu pozdně gotickému mistrovi, řadícímu se hned vedle takových jmen, jako jsou dvorní stavitel Vladislava Jagellonského Benedikt Ried nebo Hanuš Spiess, nebyla dosud věnována žádná uspokojivá monografická studie. Přestože o Rejskovi bylo napsáno mnoho a nejedna stavba či kamenická práce mu je připisovaná, jeho dílo není souhrnně zpracováno a vymezeno. Takovéto výzvy lze stěží neuposlechnout. S vědomím toho, o jak odvážný úkol se jedná, jsem si dílo Matěje Rejska zvolila jako téma mé diplomové práce. Se stále...

Master Hartmann and the Swabian Woodcarving at the Beginning of the 15th Century
Hladká, Kateřina ; Homolka, Jaromír (advisor) ; Hlobil, Ivo (referee) ; Klípa, Jan (referee)
Master Hartmann and the Swabian Woodcarving at the Beginning of the 15th Century The stonemason Master Hartmann from Ulm is known to art historians already long time, but his role in Swabian woodcarving at the beginning of the 15th century, however, still evokes numerous questions. Although Hartmann is believed to work simultaneously in the hut and the woodcarving workshop, the average quality of his works, and the fact, that he was accepted as a citizen only in the year 1928, more than ten years after we encounter him in Ulm records for the first time, indicates certain complications of this hypothesis. In this doctoral thesis, Master Hartmann is studied from the perspective of social and cultural situation in Ulm at the beginning of the 15th century. Attention is given to his position in the hut organization on the construction of Ulm Minster and his artistic activity on the western façade, which in its iconographical concept reflects also the historical background. The second part of the thesis focuses on the woodcarving workshop, where the Altarpiece of Dornstadt was made, and on the phenomenon of wide distribution of this style around the entire Swabia. The Ulm workshop is presented in the context of the city and its minster hut, former local centers and even more distant regions. Around 1415,...
