Dufková, Kateřina ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Kostlán, Antonín (referee)
This diploma thesis is dedicated to Jan Sembera Cernohorsky of Boskovice, Moravian aristocrat from the second half of 16th century, the last descendant of an important family of Boskovice. It describes his life story from the childhood to the death which it puts into the broader context and creates a comprehensive view of the higher nobles of his time. Particular attention is paid to the family of Boskovice, especially its last generation, which represent aside from Jan Sembera primarily his brother Albrecht Cernohorsky of Boskovice and Semera's friend and relative Jan of Boskovice and Trebova. The specific role in Jan Sembera's biography necessary plays the transfer of the legacy of the house of Boskovice to the Liechtenstein's family. This was accomplished through two marriages between Karl and Maxmilian of Liechtenstein and Sembera's daughters Anna Marie and Katerina. The importance of those alliances is reflected in the perspective of both financial as well as cultural capital inherited by the House of Liechtenstein and the way how did they use and treat it.

Matoušková, Magdaléna ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
In thesis I will focus on the church of the Brethren in Mladá Boleslav. Except the characterization of constructional and historical development of this structure, I will do the analysis of paintings in the interior of this building, where were mostly used ornamental motifs. However, primarily I will devote to the details of decoration of the eastern part of this building for which were used quotations from Scripture. I will compare painting decorations with contemporary prints, which were made by members of the Unity of Brethren. I will focus to some similarities of ornamental and typographic decoration. Further, I will briefly mention the architect of this building - Matteo Borgorelli and his other buidings. Marginally I will also devote to conditions, which the Unity of Brethren had in Mladá Boleslav in 16th century.
