Epitaph of Vilém z Rožmberka in the church of St.Vitus in Český Krumlov
JANOUŠEK, Ivo
The epitaph of Wilhelm von Rosenberg, located in the Saint Vitus church in Český Krumlov, is sometimes called the Rosenberg mausoleum, which belongs to one of the most interesting research-sepulchral monuments of the 16th century. Unfortunately, from the whole epitaph composition, only a few fragments of very high artistic quality have survived. Perhaps for this reason has the epitaph of Wilhelm von Rosenberg become a myth shrouded building in the presbytery of the Saint Vitus church. The small number of written sources found on the fragments were processed and interpreted by a group of specialized scholars. Even though scholars had access to these high quality historical documents, unfounded historical reconstructions began to appear. This paper will take a closer look on these appearances and will explain why they are unrealistic and therefore not credible. The aim of this paper is an art-historical analysis of the preserved fragments of the epitaph in relation to similar sepulchral monuments found in Europe. The result is a partial reconstruction of the composition and classification of the work in the context of funeral architectural and sculptural works of this kind in the Czech domain of the 16 century.

Concept of gravestone in the sculptures of Jan Koblasa
Nešlehová, Mahulena
The study centers on the work of Jan Koblasa (1932) that was intended for sacral places. More closely, it is about his work on gravestones, which was part of a larger concept of spiritual related activity of his. According to the text, there are two discernible approaches in his work. First, there are works that are dedicated to the memory of Koblasa´s close friends, and those bear signs of clearly personal approach. Examples of such work are the graves of poet Ivan Divis, painter Jiri Valenta or composer Milan Kymlicka, all found in Bohemia. Second approach is more universal and timeless, marked by minimalist design. An example is the grave of doctor Artur Rathke, which is located in a church in Germany. Towards the end, the text deals with the chapel in Neumünsteru and its layout.
