Gemstones in the Culture and Fine Art of the Luxembourg and Rudolphine Era in Bohemia.
PROKOPOVÁ, Zuzana
Gem stones in the culture and visual art at Luxembourgeois and Rudolfine period in Bohemia. This bachelor study pursues the history of artistic use of gem stones at Luxembourgeois and Rudolfine period in Bohemia. The study is divided into four main thematic parts. In the prologue of the study there is summarized the history of gem stones from the prehistoric ages till the early modern period; the study places emphasis on their meaning (religious, mystical etc) and the ways of their use (instrument, work of art). Subsequent part of the study is concentrated on literary works, which were created on the theme of gem stones from antique period to early modern period. The analysis of mentioned documents focuses on the period approach in the gem stones. The two last parts of the study are concentrated on the role of gem stones in the courts of two important Czech rulers - Charles IV. and Rudolf II. These parts tries to refer to the personal approach of the ruler and period influence (religion, natural science, philosophy, etc), which, doubtless, were mirrored in the perception of gem stones and their subsequent artistic use.
