ILLUSTRATION X STAGE
Bartůňková, Tereza ; SMOLÍK, Robert (advisor) ; BAŽANT, Jan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to analyze the issue of illustration, its relationship to scenography and its function in the theatrical context. The work focuses mainly on illustration as a phase in the creative process and its transformation into language on stage. The bachelor's thesis is composed of two larger text units and an appendix containing images. The first part of the work provides an explanation of the term illustration, a historical context, a general overview of the issues related to illustration and the stage, important figures related to illustration, as well as the author's own perspective on this topic. The subjective nature of this work lends more space to the second part, in which the author's own scenographic practice serves as a demonstration and elaboration of the theoretical findings as described in the first part. Indeed, practical experience in the field can effectively represent the claims, which would not fully convey the meanings if they remained only in the theoretical realm. The bachelor's thesis is permeated with images that illustrate the written passages accordingly. Documentation of the auteurial theatre performance Korvína is attached at the end of the work.

The Znojmo rotunda and early Christian painting
Bažant, Jan
The most significant monument of Czech medieval narrative art is the Premyslid Gallery in the Znojmo Rotunda, the oldest preserved interior with wall paintings in the Czech lands (1134). The central figure in this gallery, Premysl the Ploughman, is in all probability shown in the role of Christ and the Premyslids in the role of the apostles. The Znojmo painting was modeled on scenes with Christ handing over the New Covenant for his disciples to propagate, i.e. it is a depiction of the transmission of authority - an investiture of the ruling Czech dynasty.
