Dercaci, Alexandra ; Oulíková, Petra (advisor) ; Pučalík, Marek (referee)
Holy Trinity church in Klášterec nad Ohří Abstract Hоly Trinity Church was built in the mid-sixties of the 17th century. The construction was ordered by Count Michаel Oswald Thun and it was a part of a Baroque rebuilding of his estate in Klášterec. Among the other contruction projects were e.g. the reconstruction of the castle, building of sala terrena and founding of extensive gardens, decorated with sculptures from the early Baroque sculptor Jаn Brоkoff. Plans for the church were developed by a significant architect Cаrlo Lurаgo and construction was realized by builder Rossi de Luca. The plans, however, differ from the final form of the church. In my thesis i summarize the knowledge about the church I found and try to look into drew defign of towerd facade of the church from architect Lurago. And the goal of my work is to connect his design with similar buildings.

Baroque domes and the St. Francis of Assissi Church in Prague
Sýkora, Petr ; Oulíková, Petra (advisor) ; Pučalík, Marek (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the St. Francis of Assissi Church in the Old Town of Prague as a building with the first true dome on a drum, constructed by Jean Baptiste Mathey who was originally a painter. Thanks to him Prague got a building that is architecturally as significant as Rome's St. Peter's Basilica. The thesis also researches the attempts to emulate Roman architecture. Architects active in Bohemia had been trying to construct a dome over the nave from the beginning of the 17th century. However, they only accomplished a true dome with the arrival of Mathey. Even Carlo Lurago, who was the best-known architect of the time, didn't succeed to place a dome over the nave, although he tried it on many buildings. Giovanni Domenico Orsi, on the other hand, managed to include a dome-like shape in his buildings, but many of his projects didn't survive to this day or remained on paper. Besides the St. Francis Church itself, this thesis also deals with Roman inspirations. The construction of this church wouldn't have been possible if Mathey hadn't brought with him from Rome the latest knowledge about Roman architecture and buildings being constructed back then. He was undoubtedly influenced by Carlo Rainaldi and other outstanding Roman architects who were active at that time.

Wall Painting and Stuccowork of Knight's Hall of Nelahozeves Chateau
Junková, Radka ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
1 RESUMÉ My bachelor study focuses on the wall paintings and stucco decoration in the Knight's Hall of Nelahozeves castle. I endeavor after compact summarization of available origins. My bachelor study targets on the stucco reliefs. Because of the lack of the origins I only describe the paintings and put them into connection with the main stucco motives. The chapter dedicated to the stucco decoration is divided into ten smaller units. I put the main emphasis on figurative motives. Five Nelahozeves stucco spaces in the Hall's vault are thematically similar to the same stuccos at pleasure castle Hvezda in Prague. Their conformity is not accidental. Stuccos in representative Hall of Nelahozeves are directly educed from superior ones processing at Hvezda. When I looked for their samples, I study the literature pointed to Prague's pleasure house. I focus on figurative stucco reliefs of the Hall's vault from the point of searching their art and lateral patterns. The basic inspiration source of motives was history processing from Tito Livio. I shortly adumbrate mythological frame of each heroic fact because of ancient conception of historiography. We can find the founder of Roman nation, Aene, running from burning Troja, Curtio falling into depth, Kimon saved by Peron, Mucio Scaevola putting his hand into fire and...

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...

The Artistic Work of the Süssner Family in Germany and Bohemia in the Second Half of 17th Century
Sehnal, Jiří ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
This thesis outlines the artistic work ofthe German extended Stissner fami1y, which originated from Nortwest Bohemia. In the work we find (as many as) eight members ofthe Stissner family, as many as five ofwhom were artistically active. The most significant figures within this family are Jeremias Stissner (1653-1690), the Brandenburg (Saxon) court sculptor from the West Bohemian town ofOstrov, who was active in Dresden and Berlin, and his brother Conrad Max Stissner (1665-after 1696). These artist workedpredominantly within a German environment and their artistic contribution to the Czech scene was a "mere" import (six sculptures for the knights' church of St. Francis /kostel sv. Františka! in Prague's Old Town in 1689 and 1691), assumed to be from the Dresden studio. The greater part ofthis thesis is devoted to both brothers, in which the more significant Jeremias Stissner is to a certain extent ofregional importace. Unfortunately, due to the fragmented nature ofthe records, information about these attists is incomplete. Their work reflects both the classicist Flemish school, as well as radical Roman baroque, which was close to the works of Giovanni Lorenzo Bemini or Alessandro AIgardi. The work of the Flemish school is connected to the master Johann Heinrich senior, ofwhom Jeremias Stissner was a...

The complex was constructed in 20's and 30's of 18th century. This study is focused on the art-historical description of churches and it describes also conditions of their foundation. A part of this work is an introduciton of abbot O.Zinke, who was a constractor of these churches and it relates a signification of this churche complex not only in the piece of K.I.Dientzenhofer, but also in context of contemporaneous architecture.

The creation of ecclesiastic organization in Jihlava and its surroundings in early and high middle ages
Vodáková, Dana ; Scholz, Stefan (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
Resume This bachelor thesis considers the vast theme of habitation and first Church organization in Jihlava and its close surroundings in early and peak period of the Middle Age. First of all it pursues to summarize the up to now findings and to create the compact view on this theme. The resources were the literature, written and image sources, as well the building of the St. Jan Křtitel church to which the roots of pre-location habitation of Jihlava town are definitely related. The most original appearance of the church is unknown, thus the reconstruction of the original appearance is more likely the working hypothesis that uses the knowledge and researches from the year 1984. In part, this thesis also considers the aspect of the natural conditions that undoubtedly influenced the habitation process. The attempt of the definition of old Jihlava parish and localization of its villages coheres very closely with it. The possible questions for the future research are proposed in the conclusion.
