Wall painting of 13th and 14th century in Northwest Bohemia
Lisničková, Emma ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with mural painting of the 13th and 14th centuries in the northwest Bohemia. The first part describes a brief history of medieval mural painting in the region. The most important part of the thesis consists of separate essays on places with surviving murals, i.e. mural cycles from Krupka, Brozany, Slavětín, Dobroměřice, Bedřichův Světec, Židovice, Radonice, Černochov, Volyně, Roudníky, Bečov nad Teplou and Potvorov. These chapters always have two parts: first existing literature on a particular location is critically evaluated and then a description and style and iconographic analysis are conducted. The thesis is specifically concerned with those who ordered the murals, including both famous aristocratic families and monastic communities. For this reason, even localities beyond the borders of the specified region are included, because they are connected with the topic by the donors.
Church of the Beheading of st. John the Baptist in Dolní Chabry
Lisničková, Emma ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (referee)
The thesis is focused on the church of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist in Prague-Dolní Chabry. The church is a Romanesque building, constructed presumably in the third quarter of the 12th century. A great attention is devoted to the Romanesque paintings of an exceedingly high quality in the apse of the church. They include the oldest preserved Marian cycle in our territory. The church was preceded by three older sacral buildings. One of them was a sizable rotunda, from which relief ceramic tiles are preserved. In the thesis, a possible connection between this remarkable place and the Benedictine Order is suggested.
