An interpretation of the completion and sacred meaning of the Prague Cathedral in texts around the year 1800
Sadílková, Pavla
The text is based on the analysis of guidebooks to the Prague Cathedral and its descriptions from around 1800. The main aim is to analyse the relationship between the reflections on the Cathedral as an ancient place of cult and the evaluation of the artistic qualities of the Cathedral as an artistic monument. As compared to the Baroque tradition, the main change of the texts consists in the shift from considering it as a sacred place to describing it as an artistic monument. The main influence in this way may be ascribed to the text of F. L. Ehemant published in 1774. As the main qualities were described the illusionism of the Gothic space and the varying light effects in the interior of the Cahedral.
