Open-air gallery of baroque statues in Liběšice
Klapetková, Jana ; Macek, Petr (advisor) ; Horyna, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals especially with baroque statues in Liběšice, a small town in North Bohemia. This thesis is the first which considers this thema, in spite of the fact that the gallery of statues is a unigue urban project. According to this is the thesis conceived. At first there is a short chapter about the history of Liběšice, because especially demesne by Jesuits from Prague, who built up there a residence, had a big influence on a landscape around Liběšice. There is also a mention of several architectural works in this town, because these buildings are works of famous architects like Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer or Guilio Broggio. The Jesuit residence, the church of Assumption of the Virgin Mary and the St. Francis Xaver Chapel are noted. The thesis is focused on a description and iconography of the statues in the small square. Sculptures on the garden wall of the residence and on the church wall are itemized and there is also a dokumentation of their damage. In the end Liběšice is compared with another statues and towns in the Czech Republic and there is a suggestion of possible analogies.

John Wenceslaus Kosch (1718-1798): North Bohemian master builder of the late baroque
Mandažiev, Petr ; Horyna, Martin (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
Předložená diplomová práce si netroufá být více než pouhou skicou k tématu činnosti Jana Václava Kosche. Hlavním kritériem výběru informací se stala snaha přiblížit se k podobě staveb v době jejich vzniku. Protože byl Jan Václav Kosch tvůrcem především regionálním, svým životem spjatý s Děčínskem, Českolipskem, Šluknovskem a dalšími zdejšími končinami, považoval jsem za nutné podat, pokud to bylo možné, také stručné příběhy jednotlivých lokalit. V případech jako Nový Bor, Varnsdorf, atp., jsem dějiny vzniku těchto míst rozšířil natolik, aby bylo zcela zřejmé, pro koho zde Jan Václav Kosch své stavby budoval. Tato okolnost vzniku jednotlivých architektur je dle mého soudu o to důležitější, protože upozorňuje na změnu společenských poměrů druhé poloviny osmnáctého století. Jako Koschovi objednavatelé nyní nevystupují pouze jednotlivci, ale také určité společenské vrstvy obyvatelstva, zejména obchodníci a podnikatelé. Ti také mnohdy určují podobu staveb svým vkusem a potřebou reprezentovat životní úspěchy. Dalším důležitým činitelem v určování podoby architektury bylo období josefínské stavební byrokracie, kde se konkrétní tvůrce, Kosche nevyjímaje, zcela ztrácel ve víru mechanismu úřednické mašinérie. Snad lze vyslovit domněnku, že právě toto období výrazně ovlivnilo svou unifikační tendencí charakter...

The work of Franz Preiss in the context of contemporaneous sculpture
Mazačová, Kateřina ; Horyna, Martin (advisor) ; Hladík, Tomáš (referee)
The submitted thesis aims to contribute to the study of the 17th and 18th century Bohemian sculpture. It is devoted to Franz Preiss, a remarkable artist of the early High Baroque period of Prague sculpture. The most extensive part of the thesis is the Catalogue. The author seeks to present a complete overview of works attributed to Preiss and his workshop by any source. The Catalogue is divided into four sections titled: A) Preiss's recorded works - B) Works attributed to Preiss on the basis of stylistic analysis - C) Disputable works - D) Works mistakenly attributed to Preiss. Within each section, individual items are presented in chronological order. Every item is accompanied by facts about the creation of the particular work and by iconographic interpretation, which is followed by the pivotal part - a detailed formal analysis of the work as well as a comparison with works listed under other catalogue items, and concluded by a hypothesis on the work's authorship. To facilitate the reader's understanding of her descriptions, the author includes extensive photo documentation, made for the main part by her husband Mgr. Vít Mazač. The Catalogue and the Photo Appendix are preceded by a brief text. Following the Preface and the Introduction, the reader gets acquainted with recorded facts about the sculptor's...

Václav Clemens Žebrácký - Idea unionis musicae et poeticae (1617). Edition and analysis.
Pacala, Frederik ; Baťa, Jan (advisor) ; Horyna, Martin (referee)
The main purpose of the thesis is a commented critical edition of treatise Idea unionis musicae et poeticae written by Václav Clemens Žebrácký.

The small print (9 ff.), preserved uniquely in the Castle library in K ivoklát (shelf-mark XLIV. f. 12, extra draft 33) has not been hitherto reflected in the scientific (musicological and non-musicological) literature. Apart from the critical edition of the Clement's treatise, the aim of the thesis is to pou it in the historical context and to point out its connection with the intellectual background outside of Prague. Keywords Václav Clemens Žebrácký, Johannes Lippius, Library of Castle K ivoklát, Charles University, music theory, poetica, musica

Self-portrait in the Czech baroque painting
Kacetlová, Miroslava ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Horyna, Martin (referee)
The self-portrait in painting is similar to an autobiography in literature. It is an unique testimony of painter' s life and art, of his desires, fears and whishes. It contains its own typical attributes: brusches, a palette, an easel with a canvas and specific studio clothes as well, which point to the painter' s profession. Usually the sitter is in the contact with the viewer with the help of his eyes' sight. The development of the self-portraiture started in the Renaissance period, when the artist self-consciousness of his talent and uniqueness of his art spread. Painters started to offend against giuld rules which tied them. An important break into the obsolete system was the attempt to establish an Academy in Prague in 1709. The main authors of the project were the painter Michael Václav Halbax, the sculptor František Preiss and the architect František Maxmilián Kaňka. But their progressive idea broke down in the end. The barock self-portraits in the Czech painting were influenced by the previous period - the era ofthe emperor RudolfU. and his great painters for example: Bartholomeus Spranger and Hans von Aachen. I diveded self-portraits into five chapters: the self-portraits alone, the self-portraits with attributes, the family self-portraits, the self-portraits in narative scenes, the self-portraits...

Thomas Haffenecker (sacral architecture)
Štěrbová, Daniela ; Horyna, Martin (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
Thomas Haffenecker was bom in 1669 in Haldensee in the Tannheim valley in Tirol (Austria). While his older brother Andreas stayed at home to become constructor of local importance, Thomas decided to marry and permanently settle in Bohemia. He received his qualification as master-mason in the Stone-Mason's Guild in the Lesser Town of Prague around around 1701. In Prague he carried out the design of J. B. Fischer von Erlach for the Gallas-Palace. For the Gallas noblesse Haffenecker designed and also built the monastery church in Hejnice, where the planed variations using principles of the "Radical Baroque" were not realized. In 1716 he entered the services of the Premonstratensians and was expected to carry out numerous tasks in Strahov and Doksany. Obviously Haffenecker also designed the holy shrine in Sepekov, that is traditionally attributed to K. 1. Dientzenhofer. A special chapter in Thomas Haffenecker' s life is the time period he spent in office as Court Master of Works, to which he has been appointed probably since 1723. The imperial estates were extensive, the buildings were constantly in need for repair and a need arose for construction of new designs and buildings. Haffenecker created dozens of designs for village churches, but very few of them would ever be carried out. Others were adapted or...

Architectural and urban developement of Liberec 1352-2006
Zeman, Jaroslav ; Macek, Petr (advisor) ; Horyna, Martin (referee)
Liberec a relatively young city is compared to with the majority of urban settlements in our country but its development has been equally interesting and complicated. The onset of the industrial revolution meant a major breaking point in particular because the following gründer period has marked it most notably.The characteristic of the city is, beside a large urban fragmentation and complex disorder influenced by the local field configuration, especially the phenomenon of garden cities. Liberec with Prague, Usti nad Labem, Brno and Opava accounted for one of the centers of the second stream of culture, represented by German-speaking architects settled on our territory, which formed a natural counterpart to the architecture of the Czech majority.

Genre painting of the 17th and early 18th centuries in Bohemia
Rousová, Andrea ; Horyna, Martin (advisor) ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee) ; Mádl, Martin (referee)
The theme of the thesis "Genre Painting of the 1 i h and early 18th Centuries in Bohemia" was primarily selected due to the fact that until now none of the scholars had attended to this topic. Therefore the thesis for the first time surveys the situation on the art scene and straightaway from several points of view. Pivotal is the recognition of genre paintings by artists working in Bohemia during the period of Early and mainly High Baroque. However, firstly it was necessary to circumscribe the genre painting as such because this determination was fundamental in selecting the works that I labelled as genre. To this also relates the deeper introduction into the iconography and iconology of genre painting, rendered at the same time from the standpoint of the progress of interpretation of prominent experts in the discussed topic. The attention is paid to the references of genre painting in the commentaries of historiographers, painters, art theorists and further authors from Antiquity to the end of the 1 i h century as well. From them, among other things, it is clear that this category was not in the centre of their attention and their attitude to the genre painting was practically solely critical. The opposite attitude, however, is presented through the example of 1 i h and 18th centuries collecting....
