Pieta from Všeměřice and Lamentation from Korkusova Huť - the analysis of the works and changes in the iconography
 SOUŠKOVÁ, Martina
This Bachelor Diploma deals with the motif of Piety and Lamentation. The thesis indicates the understanding of those two motifs from the iconographic point of view, follows their historical development during the Gothic period and examines several Christian writings, that could have influenced the establishment of an iconographic type of the motifs. The main chapters focus on the Pieta from Všeměřice form 1430 - 1440 and Lamentation from Korkusova Huť from 1510 - 1520. These chapters discuss the history of both works, their original placements, functions and analogies in their style. One of the important aspects is also an indication of the possibility of comparing the works of art with several other pieces of both Czech and foreign Gothic art of sculpture, that might become a guideline in determining the direct impacts on the final shapes of the works as well as their authors. The conception of Pieta and Lamentation undergoes a grand change during the Gothic period. The formerly widespread and famous motif of Piety withdraws as the motif of Lamentation overtakes its place. Therefore, another task of this thesis is to describe and explain this change of the iconographic motif of art. The thesis further describes and explains the main causes, that led to the withdrawal of the motif of Piety and the massive expansion of the motif of Lamentation.
