Drápalová, Kristýna ; Macek, Petr (advisor) ; Adamcová, Kateřina (referee)
(English) This study has two aims. First, to reconstruct the landscape arrangement of the northern tip of the North Bohemian Basin at the end of the baroque era, focusing on compositional relationships between landscape dominants, both in a scale of pilgrim areas, castles, churches and monasteries and in a scale of chapels and small sculptural and architectonic monuments. The second aim is to, on the example of this - in baroque era extraordinarily rich landscape - examine the phenomenon of the Czech baroque landscape by comparing conclusions of the reconstruction with the widespread conception of compositional principles of baroque landscape. For this purpose, a comprehensive catalogue of architectonic and sculptural monuments in the researched area at about 1780, was compiled. Thereafter a map was created, that shows not only the objects as such, but also the compositional relationships between them. The most important resource for the map was a collection of maps of the First military mapping of Bohemia. In the text, the landscape is described through the perspective of a baroque pilgrim, browsing the landscape along the old roads of three selected routes. The conclusions are then summarized in the final chapter. As a result of my study, I came to the conclusion, that neither the researched...

The Church of the St.John the Baptist in Hořelice and dynamic Baroque in Czech lands
Drápalová, Kristýna ; Macek, Petr (advisor) ; Biegel, Richard (referee)
(in English): Bachelor thesis The Church of the St. John the Baptist in Hořelice and dynamic Baroque in Czech lands deals with the position of this high-quality work of Czech baroque architecture in the context of contemporary architectonic production. The aim of the work, besides making a detailed description of the building, was to decide the question of the autorship of Hořelice's church. Therefore, the chosen method was formal analysis of its architectonic form. Two baroque artists came in consideration - famous Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer and his less known fellow Ferdinand Václav Špaček, who both worked in service of Anne Marie Grand Duchess of Toscany, at whose impuls the church was built. Based on a comparison with works of those two architects, Špaček's autorship clearly seems more likely. In the final part of this work is attached one chapter, dedicated to this not enough noted architect and evaluation of his work.
