Bachelor's thesis is part of research on Waldstejn's patronage in northern Bohemia prepared for the exhibition of this important aristocratic family in the Museum of the Bohemian Paradise in Turnov. During my research, I did mapping of individual sites and I described them. From my point of view the work in the field was important, this means acquisition of photographs of individual churches and gathering additional information on the creation of buildings. Most reference period was the years 1724-1729, when the Countess of Waldstein was truly generous in promoting the arts, when the favorable financial situation help her. Thanks to this situation newly built or restored religious buildings on Waldstein's estates were built. Such as decanal church of St. James in Mnichovo Hradiště, St. Nicholas in Turnov, and St. Vojtěch in Kruh near Doksy, St. Wenceslas in Boseň and the chapel of St. John of Nepomuk at Waldstein, St. Stapin in Klokočka.

It contains a brief outline of the historical period during which baroque style was making its entry in the Czech lands.

Hovorková, Eva ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (referee)
The bachelor work deals with the work of Santino Cereghetti (about 1640 - 1791), stucco worker of Italian origin, in Svatá Hora. The first part deals with the technique concerning the stuccoed decoration. The second part concerns the Italian artists who came from the area surrounded by the lakes at the today's border between Italy and Switzerland and who worked as architects and stucco workers in the whole Europe. The third part of the bachelor work follows the changes in the stuccoed decoration and its form in Bohemia in the baroque time. The core of the bachelor work is in the fourth part in which the stuccoed work by Santino Cereghetti in Svatá Hora is described. The determination of the stuccoed decoration made by Cereghetti results from the contracts which prove his work and from the similarity of elements present in his form of the stuccoed decoration. Cereghetti's stuccoed decoration is embedded in the early baroque architecture. Changes in his stucco work are obvious. His first stuccoed decoration is of early baroque character. Later his stuccoes have typical high baroque features: Bernini's influence is reflected especially in the figures because Cereghetti's figures are moving, a concrete moment is displayed from which the direction of the movement and its intention are to be...

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...

After characterization of Perugino's art ensues description of his North Italian commissions and of his painting in Cremona. In the next chapters I define the development of art in Cremona and I investigate the influence of this painting and of the Perugino's style on the art in Cremona in the period around the turn of 15th and 16th century. A target is to detect these connections in works of artists Boccaccio Boccaccino, Tommaso Aleni, Galeazzo Campi, Francesco Casella and Marco Marziale, who worked in this time in Cremona.

Painter Frantisek Jakub Prokys
Velflová, Lenka ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
Painter František Jakub Prokyš and his sacral works There were two historians of art who were profoundly interested in painter František Jakub Prokyš. The first one František Matouš prepared an intensive study before World War II, but he did not finish it. Pavel Zadražil was the second and he wrote his diploma about this subject in 1985. Prokyš is mentioned in some other books as well. We hardly know anything about František Jakub Prokyš's childhood and his teenage. He was probably born in the town of Slaný in 1713. The first proper information about him is from Borovany, where he worked in 1746 for the Augustinian's monastery. Prokyš painted frescos in the church and in the new built chapel and made some pendent pictures. In the year 1748 Prokyš worked for the Augustinian's monastery in Třeboň and in a short time he moved from the north Bohemia to Třeboň. Living in Třeboň was a good time for him, because he got married and two of his children were born there. He began to work for local princely family of Schwarzenberg in Český Krumlov. And in 1760 he was solvent enough to buy a house on the České Budějovice's square. His best work was done during the 60's and 70's. In České Budějovice he decorated walls and vault in the Holy Trinity's church. For the Dominicans he painted the picture of Our Lady of the...

Lepíková, Dagmar ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Horyna, Mojmír (referee)
Giovanni Pietro Tencalla -The Church of St Anne and St James Major in Stara Voda in Libava This diploma thesis deals with the construction development of the Church of St Anne and St James Major in Stara Voda in Libava from the original project made by G. P. Tencalla to the present time. This church was built on the oldest pilgrimage place of St Anne in Bohemia under the episcopal rule of Charles II. of Liechtenstein-Castelcorn, Bishop of Olomouc. It was permanently damaged during the second post-war period in the 20th century. The cause of this situation was the establishment of the Military Training Space in Libava. The church started to dilapidate and the pilgrimages were stopped. There was the damage on purpose to this church and its existence was even threatened. The effort of the public authorities to destroy it or to save it on the contrary is described in detail. The last chapters of the diploma thesis describe the restoration of the church after 1989 and include thoughts of its future use and the way of it is repaired. Keywords: Church of St Anne and St James Major in Stara Voda Giovanni Pietro Tencalla Charles II. of Liechtenstein-Castelcorn, Bishop of Olomouc Destruction Restoration
