Milena Bílková Ikonografie v utrakvistické teologii Iconography in Ultraquist Theology Utraquism, a Czech religious movement of 15th and 16th centuries, was characterized by a number of theological specifics which also found their reflection in the art of the Utraquist church. There are several particular motifs that enable us to speak about Utraquist iconography. These motifs include depictions of Jan Hus as a saint with his attributes the heretic's hat (originally a sign of degradation) and the stake. The lay chalice, the most visible theological feature of Utraquism, was depicted in various contexts and places, although its emphasis was not a rule. Other topics of Utraquist iconography are communion sub utraque to both infants and adults, the martyrdom of Jerome of Prague and the Martyrs of Kutná Hora, depictions of Žižka as well as pictorial antithesis of the "old" and "new" church.
