Jakub František Prokyš
OLDŘICHOVÁ, Lucie
Jakub František Prokyš The bachelor work Jakub František Prokyš is intent on a successful painter who lived in the 18th century. He originally came from Slaný but his life fate took him into culturally developing South Bohemia. It was a great chance for him. Strongly flourishing Schwarzenberg's family were establishing their position in Bohemia not only by buying new areas but as well as by improving their former and newly gained dominion. That is why the Schwarzenbergs employed a lot of important architects, painters and sculptors. Jakub František Prokyš was among them. Everything has not been cleared up about Prokyš´ destiny up today. There are a lot of questions which answers we are still looking for. Basically, until to his coming to South Bohemia we do not have real data about his life and apprenticeship. Even in his South Bohemian life many questions are hidden. It is the most remarkable to follow how respectable person could become from a quite unknown artist. He got among notable people. He earned enough money to be able to buy his own house and take care of his family during his life. However, professional success was changed by family tragedies. He was a great fresco painter as well as he could paint even altar paintings. It is strange that his very early works are considered to be his best ones. Those were ordered by Joseph Adam Schwarzenberg. The most space is devoted to those works of art in my bachelor work. The aim of the work is my attempt at closer outlline of Prokyš´not well recognized life.

Telč in seventeenth century
MAREČEK, Jakub
The topic of my bachelor's work is the history of the town of Telč in the 17th century. I chose this historical epoch mainly for the reason that little attention was devoted to it in previous research of Telč history. First, I evaluate the works that have been written about Telč so far. I try to assess the approach of their authors and I investigate which historical period of the town they considered to be the heyday of time. I also focus on their view of the town in the 17th century. Subsequently, I incorporate Telč to the urban network in early modern times. I compare its size not only to towns in the Telč County but also to the size of urban settlements in Bohemia and Moravia. Afterwards, I introduce the members of Slavata family individually and their relationship to the town. Then, I concentrate on the impact of the Thirty Years War on the town and the situation thereafter. Finally, I reconstruct the appearance of the town administration on the basis of extant sources, its functioning and relationship to the castle lords in the last chapter.

Šlehofer, Lukáš ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Rákosník, Jakub (referee)
The main aim of this graduation thesis is to describe life of an important Czech social democratic politician Gustav Habrman. A special attention is paid to his ideological development. He was born in Česká Třebová in 1864. His family was very poor. When Habrman was served out, he moved to Vienna, because he did not get the opportunity to find a work in his native city. In the capital city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire he took up with ideas of workers' movement. He also became a member of this movement and participated in its activities. One part of these activities was illegal. When the secret police found illegal printing plant, he was arrested and later sentenced to four-year jail. After his return from the prison Habrman decided to move to Paris. In this city he lived more than one year. Then he had to leave it because he suffered from a serious illness: when prisoned in Austria, he was infected with tuberculosis. He moved to the USA to New York and there he worked as a turner. He wanted to return back to Europe but during his stay in Bohemia in 1892 he was under sight of the Austrian Police and therefore he moved back to America. There he worked in Czech compatriotic workers' newspapers. A very important event during his second stay in America was his attempt to help Cuba fighters for freedom. In 1897...

Painter Frantisek Jakub Prokys
Velflová, Lenka ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
Painter František Jakub Prokyš and his sacral works There were two historians of art who were profoundly interested in painter František Jakub Prokyš. The first one František Matouš prepared an intensive study before World War II, but he did not finish it. Pavel Zadražil was the second and he wrote his diploma about this subject in 1985. Prokyš is mentioned in some other books as well. We hardly know anything about František Jakub Prokyš's childhood and his teenage. He was probably born in the town of Slaný in 1713. The first proper information about him is from Borovany, where he worked in 1746 for the Augustinian's monastery. Prokyš painted frescos in the church and in the new built chapel and made some pendent pictures. In the year 1748 Prokyš worked for the Augustinian's monastery in Třeboň and in a short time he moved from the north Bohemia to Třeboň. Living in Třeboň was a good time for him, because he got married and two of his children were born there. He began to work for local princely family of Schwarzenberg in Český Krumlov. And in 1760 he was solvent enough to buy a house on the České Budějovice's square. His best work was done during the 60's and 70's. In České Budějovice he decorated walls and vault in the Holy Trinity's church. For the Dominicans he painted the picture of Our Lady of the...

Based on the Example of the Hluboká nad Vltavou Manor, Adam Franz of Schwarzenberg´s Residential Strategy at the Beginning of the 18th Century
IVANEGA, Jan
The Thesis Based on the Example of the Hluboká nad Vltavou Manor, Adam Franz of Schwarzenberg´s Residential Strategy at the Beginning of the 18th Century deals with research of usage ways of the Hluboká nad Vltavou manor in the era of Adam Franz of Schwarzenberg. The core of the debate is the commentary on the three mansions demonstrably used by the aristocracy ? the Hluboká nad Vltavou castle, Ohrada hunting mansion, and Libníč spa complex. The study, built up on the analysis of correspodence, prime-source plan and accounting documents, has proved that the Hluboká nad Vltavou manor was the main Czech property of the family before inheriting Eggenberg´s property in 1719. Its importance, given among others by the geographical position, was emphasized by building of the Ohrada hunting mansion. This served, among others, as a storage of hunting tools that were demonstrably used in other South Bohemian manors as well. I consider extensive adjustments of the castle area as further evidence of the prominent status of the Hluboká nad Vltavou Castle; especially building of the votive chapel in the expanded Libníč spa that served to the inhabitants of all the concerned manors. After gaining Eggenber property, the centre of Schwarzenberg´s stays in South Bohemia moved to Český Krumlov; and the Hluboká mansion lost its priviliged status after Adam František of Schwarzenberg´s death.
