Renaissance Appearance of Melnik Castle
Čermáková, Lucie ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
Renaissance appearance of Mělník chateau Bakalářská práce - Lucie Čermáková The appearance of Mělník chateau has been developed for centuries. We cannot tell it is a typical Renaissance building structure but the most significant reconstruction took place in a Renaissance era. At that time, its horizontal projection was L-shaped. A person in possession, at those times, Zdislav Berka z Dubé had merit in most extensive treatments of the chateau in mid-1600. He invested considerable amount of money into building-up of the northern arcade wing-wall and a sgraffito decoration of the courtyard. Building treatments got under way in 1542 when Berka acquired the chateau and its finalization is assumed to have come between 1554-1555, also according to extant bills and engraven style found in sgraffito decoration. Sgraffito decoration came into existence in connection with a new build-up of the northern wing-wall and a staircase tower, and it also dates back to the same period. Mělník's sgraffito was considered as the oldest dated sgraffito decoration for a long time. However, we know about older examples of dated sgraffitos nowadays which cannot change the fact that Mělník's arcades, including its decoration, still belong to one of the oldest. The structure of Mělník's arcades are not to be found anywhere...

Late Gothic Murals of Žirovnice Castle
Chalupná, Romana ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
Resumé bakalářské práce Tato práce pojednává o pozdně gotických nástěnných malbách žirovnického hradu, které vznikly v době, kdy toto panství vlastnil Václav Vencelík z Vrchovišť. Tento původně kutnohorský měšťan Žirovnci zakoupil roku 1485 a za pomoci svých finančních prostředků se snažil také vstoupit do společnosti českého panského stavu, ten jej však patrně nikdy nepřijal. Výzdoba jíž se v této práci zabývám se nachází ve třech místnostech v patře jižního traktu hradu. Zbytky maleb se nacházejí také na vnější stěně vnitřního nádvoří. V druhém patře jižního křídla se dříve nacházel Hodovní sál, zdobený malbami ze stejné doby. Tato místnost však byla zničena požárem roku 1964. Malby byly odkrývány a restaurovány od počátku 20. století, poslední zásahy proběhly v roce 2001. Výzdoba kaple je datována k roku 1490 nad obrazem Madony. Malby této místnosti jsou nejlépe dochovanou částí výzdoby. Nachází se zde výjevy z Christologického cyklu ( Getsemanská zahrada, Ukřižování, Poslední soud) z Mariánského cyklu ( Zvěstování, Madona na půlměsíci), světci a světice řazené podle hierarchií. Malby v Zelené světnici mají prezentovat donátora maleb jako příslušníka šlechty a ukázat jeho znalosti dvorské kultury. proto jsou zde vybrány náměty typické pro toto prostředí v pozdním středověku. Jsou to alegorie rytířských...

Motive of melancholy in the 16th and in the early 17th century
Bouček, Jan ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
Motif of melancholy in the 16th and in the early 17th century The author attempts in his presented work to outline in brief basic ways of melancholy motif depiction in fine arts in the 16th and in the early 17th century. Emphasis is primarily placed on personification or allegory of melancholy that is based on the period theoretical considerations. The basis for melancholy perception as a state on the balance of madness and brilliance were laid by classical philosophers like Plato and Aristoteles. Subsequently, these considerations were extended by interconnection of melancholy with astrology in the Middle ages. Thus melancholics get under the influence of the divine Saturn planet. This is where many depictions of so called Saturn children emerge showing allegory of crafts and professions attributed traditionally to melancholics. Frequent depictions of a mythological Saturn-motif swallowing his children are on this basis a symbol of ambivalent nature of melancholics fluctuating between divine brilliance and madness. These ideas were revived by Florentine humanists in particular by the person of Marsilio Ficino in the 15th and 16th century who combined them into a complex theory of melancholy. Thanks to this theory fine arts ceased to be considered in accordance with old tradition a craft and were...

Rajhrad Altarpiece
Špinková, Tereza ; Ottová, Michaela (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
English Summary: Rajhrad Altarpiece Rajhrad Altarpiece was made by bohemian painter in the first half of the fifteen century. To this day, it has been preserved six panels - two of them have been created for the width and they deal with the theme of Crucifixion and Christ Carrying the Cross. Other panels are composed for the height and they talked about the Last Supper, Prayer on the Mount of Olives and Resurrection. The last painting concerns about the Finding and Verification of Saint Cross. The altarpiece used to be dated around 1415-1430. Nowadays, Milena Bartlová, following the new archive material (which was discovered by Bohumil Zlámal, Ivo Hlobil a Kateřina Engstová), has changed the previous opinion. She moves the origin of the altarpiece towards the year 1452 and she suppose that the panels were originally intended for the church of St. Mauritz in Olomouc. Other explorers date these paintings by the year 1440. The author of Rajhrad Altarpiece came from the precedent style of painting which was characterized by the lyric moments, complicated draperies and far-away kind of faces. The artist completes this scheme by the interest in the action, structure of place and here and there, he is concerned in individual portraits. He is supposed to have seen this kind of "realistic" motives in the illuminated...
