The baroque Waldsteine in Bohemia (1640-1740)
Hrbek, Jiří ; Maur, Eduard (advisor) ; Petráň, Josef (referee) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee)
My thesis describes the evolution of the Waldstein clan in the age of one hundred years after the Thirty Years War. Both termini which I have chosen (1640 and 1740) are not exactly kept because of logic of my constructions. I aspire to commit an integrated and compact view of activities of Waldstein clan, which belonged to an aristocratic class through its property, political power and an amount of social relations. It was one of the most famous and most powerful family structures in early modern Bohemia and in the whole Habsburg monarchy as well. My method combines a lot of approaches including biography (prosopography) and structure analysis. I want to inquire the relations between the Waldstein family and the changing social and political structures, in which they acted. The first part concerns stories of the personalities growing from the clan, their activities in the frame of early modern state and its administration. In the time of 17th and 18th centuries, this activity was connected with the fealty to the ruler and the service for the ruler was an essential assumption for making the career. As courtiers, diplomats and officers, the Waldsteine came up to expectations of their estate. The models of aristocratic careers I have related to the life cycle and I have described the making of...

Interpretation of Orders and Country History in Arts Realizations by Czech Benedictines in Baroque
Zítko, Dalimil ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee) ; Ottová, Michaela (referee)
Autor se v práci zabýval historií českých a některých rakouských benediktinských klášterů a interpretací řádových a zemských dějin v benediktinských uměleckých realizacích doby barokní. Listiny a další prameny archivní povahy se v klášterních a státních archivech dochovaly pro jednotlivá opatství v nestejné míře. Podobně tomu bylo s klášterními knihovnami, uměleckými sbírkami a výtvarnými artefakty. Významnou pomůckou byla autorovi při studiu samotná barokní literatura. Pramenný charakter má i kritické benediktinské dějepisectví 18. stol. maurinské školy, zejména v Rakousku, neboť často využilo dokumenty dnes již ztracené. Pro zkoumané téma byla nejvýznamnějším výtvarným projevem doby barokní devoční grafika, která často sloužila jako inspirace a předloha dalším barokním malířským a sochařským dílům. Hojná byla především ikonografie Panny Marie. Mariánskou spiritualitou se baroko cíleně vracelo k předreformačním tradicím a podnětům. V Čechách hrál podstatnou roli také svatováclavský kult, samozřejmě ikonografie řádového otce sv. Benedikta a dalších benediktinských světců, zejména domácího původu (sv. Vojtěch, sv. Prokop, sv. Ivan, bl. Vintíř). Prakticky ve všech opatstvích Čech i Rakouska se umělecky ztvárňovaly zakladatelské legendy a další události ranných řádových dějin. Barokní historismus byl...

Society for Old Prague and Circumstances Leading to its Creation (1893-1900)
Svojsíková, Tereza ; Pokorný, Jiří (advisor) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee)
The point of my bachelor thesis "The Society for Old Prague and Circumstances Leading to its Creation (1893-1900)" was to describe an atmosphere in which an idea of a protection of cultural heritage had been formed as well as the most important moments that afterwards lead to the creation of "The Society for Old Prague". 28th January 1900 was the date of The Society's foundation and this date also closes my thesis. Interest in the protection of cultural heritage was awakened by building developments in the centre of Prague in the late 19th century. A new rule governing an urban renewal had been issued in order to improve living conditions in the centre of the city, both in the former Jewish Town, Josefov, and in the nearby parts of the Old Town. The disappearance of some buildings greatly disturbed those who loved Old Prague and because of that a cultural heritage protection movement was formalised.

The Controversies of Jesuit Colleges and the Town of Kutná Hora
Hradec, Jan ; Čornejová, Ivana (advisor) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee)
Cílem této práce je vylíčit průběh několika sporů jezuitského řádu a města Kutné Hory. Je třeba hned v úvodu podotknout, že tato práce nemůže vylíčit všechny spory, neboť jejich zpracování by vyžadovalo časově daleko náročnější studium a jistě by vydalo na obsáhlou monografii. Proto jsou zde popsány pouze nejvýznamnější spory, které výrazně zasáhly do chodu města. Jelikož působení jezuitů v Kutné Hoře do dnešní doby postrádá monografické zpracování, bylo třeba zde alespoň nastínit celou historii zdejšího působení řádu.

German and Austrian paintings of the 17th century in the National Gallery in Prague
Jandlová Sošková, Martina ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (referee) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee)
The collection of German and Austrian painting of the 17th and 18th centuries includes over 600 paintings. Out of this number, seventeenth-century painting totals 190 works reflecting the various stages of the development of painting in Austrian and German lands. At the same time, this ensemble mirrors the development of collectorship from the 17th to the 20th centuries. The aim of the textual part of the presented catalogue is to briefly define the turning points in the development of art in Germany and Austria. The catalogue does not want to summarize the history of German art, it rather focuses on some tendencies that are deemed important in view of the artistic contribution of selected painters in the context of the National Gallery in Prague collection. One of the tasks of the catalogue was to revise the circle of works traditionally attributed to 17th-century German and Austrian schools and delimit the group of the paintings included in the catalogue. It is thus divided into three sections, namely: "Paintings by Known Artists", "Paintings by Anonymous Artists", and "Supplements". The last named part contains paintings formerly considered works of German painters. Those are paintings that with all probability came into existence within the frame of other schools, and also copies after models from other...

Prague's Archbishop Johann Friedrich von Waldstein and his controversy on the Turkish wars taxes (1682-1694)
Havlík, Jiří ; Čornejová, Ivana (advisor) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee) ; Maur, Eduard (referee)
The ann of this thesis of archbishop of Prague Johann Friedrich von Waldstein (1642 - 1694; archbishop 1675-1694) consists in description of conflicts with Czech land assembly and state apparatus in the years 1678, 1679, 1682-1686 and 1691-1694. The last and most important continued also after his death (3'^'* June 1694). That time Czech clergy sent two deputies (further archbishop Daniel Ignatius Mayer of Mayem and abbot of monastery in Plasy Andreas Troyer) to Vienna, to arrange adjustment of a dispount, which culminated on the beginning of the year 1694. Principal chapters of this thesis deal with conflicts in the years 1682-1686 and 1691- 1694 (chapters 4-7). These are based on detailed archive research, especially of sources of 1®' department of National Archives in Czech republic (Archives of archiepiscopate in Prague), Family archives of Waldstein, located in The Regional State Archives in Prague and Archivio Segreto Vaticano in Cittá del Vaticano. Some subsidiary sources I have found also in Archivům Romanům Societatis Jesu, The Regional State Archives in Litoměřice or in Archivio di Pontificia Universita Gregoriana in Italy, Main issue of the thesis shapes four points: First one was the description of main events of the history of Prague archiepiscopate (and in part also of Litoměřice episcopate),...

Jan Adam Dietz, Adam Ferdinand Tietz, Jan Václav Grauer and the sculpture workshop in Jezeří near Jirkov
Adamcová, Kateřina ; Horyna, Martin (advisor) ; Vlnas, Vít (referee) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
The sculpture workshop in Jezeří near Jirkov is a representative instance of sculptural production in both wood and stone in northwest Bohemia during the first half of the 18th century. Traces of its activity may be discerned throughout the area roughly outlined by the present-day districts of Teplice, Most, Chomutov and Louny. In addition to the founder and primary shaper of the specific sculptural style of the atelier, Jan Adam Dietz, the idea of the "sculpture workshop of Jezeří" additionally covers further exceptional personalities, who not only acquired in it the basis of their physical craft, but moreover the essential form of their artistic sensitivity. Primarily, these persons include the two sons of Jan Adam Dietz, Jan Josef and Adam Ferdinand, as well as Dietz's son-in-law Jan Václav Grauer. Thanks to its high artistic standards, the Jezeří sculpture workshop has attracted the attention of several generations of researchers, who starting in the late 1920s and early 1930s organised several exhibitions devoted to the Baroque and Rococo sculpture of the region. It was these first scholars who outlined the basic characterisations still used today to describe the work of J. A. Dietz and J. V. Grauer. Great attention was also devoted to this atelier by the Czech art historians V. V. Štech and O. J....

Formation of national identity in a multinational environment: Paris immigrants in the years 1848-1900
Olšáková, Doubravka ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Šedivý, Ivan (referee) ; Galmiche, Xavier (referee)
The thesis deals with the problem of formation national identity in a multinational milieu on the case study of immigrants in Paris 1848-1900. This study is based on the analysis of archival books stored in Archives de Paris. The theories of nationalism are confronted with the quantitative analysis of data mentioned in the application forms. The analysis is made for Germany, Luxembourg, Bohemia and Hungary. The general trend tends toward the identification with State-Nation, the only exception is Bohemia. The majority of immigrants from this country professed to Austria. However, the general trend pointed out that the delay of mass anticipation was bigger than supposed by the theoretical issues. This phenomenon is due to the weak social mobilization caused by the limited capabilities and possibilities of leading local elites. The author tries to explain the Czech exception through the semiotic analysis of collective memory transformation made on the examples of notions frontier and out/and.
