Keprt, Vratislav ; Kubík, Viktor (advisor) ; Ottová, Michaela (referee)

The iconographic programme decorating the choir in the severies is enriched by depictions of the Early Church Fathers, Old Testament prophets, the evangelists, and angels carrying Arma Christi. In the context of Bohemian monumental painting, the wall paintings at Levý Hradec are important because they complement and enlighten our knowledge of artistic development of the period between the 1370s and 1400. This thesis uses the methods of stylistic and iconographic analysis to place the studied paintings into the context of the artwork of the given period. After reviewing existing literature and researching relevant analogies to individual motives and scenes, the thesis outlines the importance of the paintings against the background of other works created in the Bohemian and central European area in the given period.

Black Madonnas - Iconography and Worship
Hřebíčková, Jana ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Ottová, Michaela (referee)
Anotation Black Madonnas are a very specific iconographic type, which origin is not clear. They are statues or pictures of Virgin Mary, who often holds child Christ in her hands and both figures or only Mary herself have black or dark complexion. In the course of the time it was discovered that some of these Madonnas darkened secondarily thanks to the chemical changes of the carnation or the smoke of candles. Some of them had dark complexion from the beginning. In the 19. and 20. centuries different research approaches led to many theories, which try to explain the origin and the significance of these black Madonnas. Nowadays there exist several fundamental theories explaining, which iconographic influences would support the development of this image of Virgin Mary and also refer to its possible meaning. The iconography of Black madonnas is closely connected to their veneration. However the period sources illustrate that the practice directed at Black Madonnas as a particular image of Virgin Mary developed as late as the post reformation period. Majority of the black Madonnas was as the other venerated Madonnas dressed, crowned and enthroned. Frequently used words in work: ikonography Virgin Mary black Madonnas worship of Virgin Mary legends sculptures and images

After death of his political enemy Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary, Vladislav set up his permanent residence in Buda and on various occasions paid only shorter or longer visits to Prague. His son Louis also resided permanently in Buda and came to the Bohemian metropolis only once. For these reasons is very difficult question about king as a donator. Numerous art historical literature dealing with this artist has offered two completely different hypotheses, some scholars believe in Czech origin artist who was strongly influenced by the so-called Danube school, others contented that the Master of the Litoměřice Altarpiece was born and trained abroad. The starting point for any summary of the oeuvre of this anonymous artist is two key monuments of painting that date from the first decade of the 16th century and which survived in Bohemia.

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.

He is supposed to have seen this kind of "realistic" motives in the illuminated...
