Synecký, Jakub ; Vlnas, Vít (advisor) ; Ottová, Michaela (referee) ; Klípa, Jan (referee)
The work deals with the concept of beautiful style and its use in Czech literature of art history. Jaromír Pečírka introduced the term known from German professional literature to the Czech environment in the 1930s in relation to sculpture. It was applied to the history of Gothic painting by Antonín Matějček. After a short turnaround, associated with the name of Pavel Kropáček, the tradition of using the term was renewed by Jaroslav Pešina, who created a concept valid and recognized to this day. In relation to sculpture, Albert Kutal and his successor Jaromír Homolka had a similar role. The Czech specificity is the application of the term in relation to architecture, which was dealt with mainly by Dobroslav Líbal. Among the younger researchers, the work of Milena Bartlová, Jan Royt, Jan Klípa and Michaela Ottová is followed. The work follows individual concepts and their changes.

Although Hartmann is believed to work simultaneously in the hut and the woodcarving workshop, the average quality of his works, and the fact, that he was accepted as a citizen only in the year 1928, more than ten years after we encounter him in Ulm records for the first time, indicates certain complications of this hypothesis. In this doctoral thesis, Master Hartmann is studied from the perspective of social and cultural situation in Ulm at the beginning of the 15th century. Attention is given to his position in the hut organization on the construction of Ulm Minster and his artistic activity on the western façade, which in its iconographical concept reflects also the historical background. The second part of the thesis focuses on the woodcarving workshop, where the Altarpiece of Dornstadt was made, and on the phenomenon of wide distribution of this style around the entire Swabia. The Ulm workshop is presented in the context of the city and its minster hut, former local centers and even more distant regions. Around 1415,...

But firstly the text is devoted to the The Pietà of Vsemerice, sculpture of high quality from the first half of the 15th century. Pietà of Vsemerice is compared with the production of Master of Týn Calvary in the field of the style and in some cases (where possible) also in the technological domain. The bachelor work sets the goal to summarize existing scientific outcomes and to propose some plausible answers to the questions concerning the Pietà of Vsemerice. In particular, these questions relates to the specifications of the time and place of her creation, of the authorship, and, last but not least, of her original destination. The thesis is structured into four chapters. First two of them deal with the pietà at general level and in the context of the sculpture in the Czech lands.
