The subject of the dissertation is a set of drawings by Paolo Pagani (1655-1716) kept in the Research Library in Olomouc. The drawings of this Lombard artist have been preserved there, among other drawings mainly of Italian and Central European provenance. These drawings occupy a privileged position in the whole context of his work. Pagani, came from an artistic family originally from the Lombard town of Castello Valsolda. Already in the 1660s, he moved to Venice, where he probably entered the workshop of the local painter Giuseppe Diamantini (1621-1705). He is recorded as an active artist in Venice until June 1690. In that year he was apparently invited by Emperor Leopold I to Vienna, where he went with his young student Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini. Pagani stayed beyond the Alps for a total of six years.

Following old master drawings within the collections of selected Czech collectors

Following old master drawings within the collections of selected Czech collectors Abstract This thesis is a contribution to the history of collecting in Bohemia. It deals with the collecting of drawings and tracks them within the selected collections and collectors. It focuses primarily on the old master drawings, defined as works from the 16th to the 18th century. Within the issue of collecting the attention is, even when studying specific personalities, often paid to the picture galleries rather than the print collections. Due to its fragile nature, drawing tends to fit into the background and, if it does not form the main part of the collection, is not reflected. Many of the collections and collectors have come to attention lately, but many still await their appreciation and introduction into new contexts.
