The Renaissance decoration of the Lobkovic (Schwarzenberg) palace in Prague
Henslová, Barbora ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (referee)
The Baccalaureate thesis, "The Renaissance decoration of the Lobkowicz (Schwarzenberg) Palace in Prague", starts with a brief introduction into construction activities of aristocracy around Prague Castle during the reign of Ferdinand I who supported building of new residences in this part of the capital. Aristocratic families were buying properties and burgher houses burned out in a devastating fire of Lesser Quarter and Hradcany in 1541 and building their grand Renaissance palaces. Prague's High Burgrave, Jan Junior Popel of Lobkowicz, had his impressive palace built on the Hradcany Square between 1545 and 1567. He called an Italian architect Agostino Galli, who worked at Horsovsky Tyn, the main country residence of the Lobkowicz family, and he built an unusually T-shaped palace. Four rooms on the second floor still have well-preserved original coffered ceilings with paintings depicting scenes from antique mythology and history. Chosen subjects of the paintings, created by some house painter around 1580 when the palace was the residence of Krystof and Vilem of Lobkowicz, were nothing unusual at that time. However, the author of this idea was rather Jan Junior Popel, one of the most powerful aristocrats in the Kingdom of Bohemia.

Třešňáková, Alena ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee)
of the Thesis Bc. Alena Třešňáková 2011 Abstract The thesis in the theme: Issues of questionable attributions of works by Francesco Squarcione The first part of the thesis provides a summary of information about Francesco Squarcione. He is known to have first been a tailor, then an artist (from 1429) and collector of antiquities, an innovative activity in his time, and finally, an entrepreneur who influenced young artists in Padua from the 1430s to 1460s. Squarcione founded (1431) the earliest known private art-school. He educated 137 pupils who had trained or learned through the copying of antiquities in Squarcione's collection. Only two works made by him have come down to us from his artistic era; the De Lazzara polyptych in the Museo Civico in Padova (1449−1452) and the Virgin and Child in Staatliche Museen in Berlin (around 1455). The second part of this work deals with the other works that have been attributed to him over the next centuries. There is a compiled catalog of these works of art. In each of the entry are summarized important opinions about authorship of the work and on the end of which I presented my own opinion. It is difficult to confidently attributed these works to the Master Francesco Squarcione, since on the commissions often collaborated his pupils, who created in his style...
