Thaddaeus Hagecius ab Hayek and His Contribution to the Renaissance in Bohemia
Karlík, Ondřej ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
The dissertation begins with an introduction about Renaissance, because Thaddaeus Hagecius lived and worked in this age. Renaissance was both an age of faith in hermetic sciences and an age of important scientific discoveries which fundamentally influenced the transformation of cosmology. My intention is to explain the characteristics of this period in the beginning of the dissertation. The next chapter is mainly focused on Hagecius's biography and an overview of his main writings. At first, I dealt with Hagecius's youth and his studies in Bohemia and foreign countries. Afterwards, I mentioned the areas that Hagecius had developed and the writings that he had published about them. I have more thoroughly expanded Hagecius's activity in medicine and astronomy because they were the main areas of his research. In another part of the chapter, I have outlined the friendship between Hagecius and Brahe. I have closed the chapter with an explanation of Hagecius's reference to alchemy. In the third chapter of my dissertation, I have introduced Hagecius's scientific efforts in four areas. These are as follow-astronomy, medicine, botany and brewing, because Hagecius contributed to these four areas with an interesting manner. These areas also show the huge diversity of Hagecius's interests.

Aspects of humour in visual arts of the Early Modern
Bartlová, Anežka ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (referee)
Ve své práci jsem se věnovala obrazu Hanse von Aachena Smějící se sedláci z pohledu smíchové kultury a jejích konotací ve dvorské kultuře Rudolfa II. Tento obraz jsme zkoumala v porovnání s obrazy podobných námětů slavností sedláků. Výsledkem mého zkoumání bylo zjištění, že zkoumaný obraz nemá s ostatními díly s tematikou sedláckých slavností mnoho společného, že jde spíše o typ portrétu. Námětem obrazu je pravděpodobně soukromá hra malíře a adresáta obrazu. Hra se odehrává mezi divákem a zobrazenými postavami, zajímavě je také rozehrána hra s mediem obrazu samým. Annotation I have chosen Hans von Aachen's image Laughing peasants for my work and I suggest its interpretation from the point of "vulgar" culture of laughter and also its connection with art at the court of Rudolf II. I have recompared the picture with some images depicting a similar topic of peasant's festivals. RI suggest as a conclusion that the image has no connection with these works, and I think it is more likely a certain type of portrait. The correct topic of von Aachen`s image is private a play between the painter and recepient. This interplay is enacted between the beholder and figures in the image and another interesting play takes place concerning the image medium itself.

Privacy and propaganda: The iconography of the emperor Rudolf II
Zlatohlávková, Eliška
Many portraits were painted of Rudolf II during his lifetime, forming a significant component of Rudolfian art, however, they have not received sufficient art historical attention. They document—at times in a stylyzed manner—the transformation of Rudof´s appearance. However, their most important task was to demonstrate and make tangeable Rudolf´s authentic apperance to the world and to celebrate his magnanimity and personality. Thus, there are many portraits that represent Rudolf as a good emperor or a brilliant commander. It is difficult to find interconnections between the many portraits that were produced of Rudolf, however among them one may find some artworks that would become exemplars for other portraits of the emperor during his reign/lifetime/the end of the 16th and early 17th century.
