Epigraphica & Sepulcralia 14. Forum of epigraphical and sepulchral studies. Proceedings of the conference Family Necropolises in Bohemia: Possibilities and Methods of Their Research and Presentation, Prague 26-27 October 2022
Chlíbec, Jan ; Hrdinová, M.
The collection of narrowly specialised studies is a product based on the interdisciplinary symposium Family Necropolises in Bohemia: Possibilities and Methods of Their Research and Presentation (Prague 2022) within the research programme Strategy AV21: Anatomy of European Society, this meeting of experts is one of the outcomes of the project Family Necropolises in Bohemia in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Times: Regionalism, Inter-Regionalism and Internationalism. Family necropolises and their artistic equipment are important sources of knowledge about the life of noble society in the Late Middle Ages and early modern times. The given theme is examined from various aspects combining the humanities and exact sciences – from the perspectives of history, art history, archaeology, and geological disciplines, as well as a detailed analysis of archival sources. These various approaches produce a manifold image of the studied issue. At the turn of the Middle Ages and modern times new noble necropolises emerged whose artistic aspect – tombstones and epitaphs, sometimes with other funeral elements such as family banners, shields, and armour – mark a significant chapter of Czech art history. The craftsmanship as well as the type of material selected for these works often reflect the period and fashion trends in the field of sepulchral art culture. Furthermore, noble necropolises as a sacral space served as family self-presentation, a place that in addition to the religious function documented profound tradition of the family, its glory, and social status; figural tombstones, if present, may have acted as a portrait gallery of the family.

Tombstones of the Švamberks of the 15th – early 17th Century from an Art Historical Perspective
Chlíbec, Jan
Only a fragment has remained from the original collection of the Švamberk family tombstones that was still quite large at the beginning of the 18th century. Surprisingly,\neven though the Švamberks were a prominent noble family, the surviving works usually show average or below-average quality which, as far as the 15th century works are concerned, reflect the prevailing condition of sepulchral sculpture in Bohemia of the time. More factors could have been behind opting for an austere form of the tombstone. In addition to the Utraquist criticism of majestic funeral works and the lack of high-quality stonemasons after the Hussite Wars, it could be the general idea of resistance to pride and accentuation of the confirmation of Christian modesty regardless of the buried person’s confession.\n

Tombstones and Epitaphs of Italians in the Czech Lands during 1500-1620
Chlíbec, Jan
Thus far, no attention with respect to nationality has been paid to tombstones and epitaphs of Italians who lived in the Czech lands during the Renaissance era and who were subsequently buried there. Nevertheless, it is an interesting segment of this specific type of sculpture, although rather from the perspective of cultural history and epigraphy than from the art history. The commissioners of these works largely adapted their taste to the established types of sepulchral monuments and epithaphs north of Alps. The convolute of these works is rather limited, thus far comprising of 11 works and only 4 of them are figural. Yet, sober inscription plates , decorated only with the coat of arms of the deceased person, prevail in the majority of sepulchral works of the researched convolute.Their austere artistic form can be explained by the influence of the Council of Trent´s ideology. The Prague synod in 1605 continued the refusal of pompous tombstones and had an unfavourable impact on the development of sepulchral sculpture.

-Anonymous carver and his workshop co-operating with Master of Slavětín altar in northwest Bohemia.
Žebrová, Martina ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Chlíbec, Jan (referee)
This bachelor work aims to outline the work of a carver and his workshop co-workers who came in the Northwest Bohemia and their cooperation on altars with a painter called the Master of slavětín altar. Furthermore this bachelor work tries to find out and describe the influences under which works originated. The workshop with the cooperation with the painter, which operated mainly in northwest Bohemia about 30 of the 16th century, created many valuable works of art of the late Gothic period and the early Renaissance era in Bohemia. Given the vast array of sculptures attributed to the anonymous carver and his workshop, is the work also trying to revised the number of works attributed to him.

Seuplchral sculpture in Bohemia 1420-1471
Chlíbec, Jan
The text is devoted to a production of sepulchral monuments in Bohemia in the period 1420 – 1471. It defines the reasons of a dominating low quality, small number of preserved tombstones and a domination of heraldic tombstones over figural works of that time. The main influence on this condition had Utraquist ideology critisizing luxurious tombstones and also emigration of qualified artists in the time of Hussite wars.
