Animal motifs in the visual culture of 16 -century confessional polemics
JANÁLOVÁ, Žaneta
The diploma thesis Animal motifs in the visual culture of 16th century confessional polemics deals with the analysis of animal motifs used in the visual art of Czech provenance, created in the context of the religious reformation in the 16th century. The main part of the text is focused on the folios of the Jenský codex and the pamphlets created by Václav Brodius; with specific attention to artwork containing animal motifs connected with confessional polemics. The depicted animal motifs are subjected to an analysis aimed at identification of their origin and templates used for adopted symbolism of the themes. Further analysis defines the purpose of individual leaves around their iconological meaning and explores the theme of depicting monsters in polemical graphic sheets by foreign authors - and provides historical context relating to the use of such motives during the religious conflict taking place on European territory.
