Bibliographic Citation Josef Max and Czech Sculpture in the Second Third of the 19th Century [manuscript]: Bachelor's Thesis / Adam Hnojil; Thesis supervisor: PhDr. Milan Pech, Ph.D. Prague, 2016, 225 p. Anotation This monographic study aims to describe and interpret the sculpture work of the leading Czech artist from the second third of the 19th century. The thesis is focused on his life and work in the context of the late neoclassicism and romantic historicism. In the first part the author is analyzed within the framework of the Czech art history. Follows the discussion of the stylistic ambiguities of the artistic pluralism of the 19th century, which is causing problems with clear definition of styles up to these days. The very core of the work lies in a biographical study reflecting the life of the North Bohemian native and his most important works, among which the most prominent are the memorial sculptures in the Czech lands and abroad. The extensive catalogue of works and illustrated appendix are enclosed. Keywords Josef Max, sculpture, neoclassicism, romantism, memorials, funerary sculpture, Academy, Prague.
